Is the high visa rejection rate currently affecting applicants like me in Germany?

No, the visa rejection rate for Germany remains low for Indian applicants - typically around 90 - 95% approval. Most well-prepared applicants like you have a strong chance of success.

However, two recent changes could impact your application:
- Remonstration process abolished (from 1 Jul 2025): If your visa is rejected, you can no longer appeal informally. You must reapply or pursue a legal challenge.
- APS certificate now mandatory: Without this document verifying your academic records, your application will be rejected.

To maximize your chances, ensure all documents are accurate and complete, maintain the required financial proof, and submit a clear Statement of Purpose. If you need personalized guidance, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
