Quality of service has room for improvement here
German Consulate in Kolkata is worst with its unprofessional staffs who don't even have the curtsy to even speak politely to applicant for Job Seeker Visa. It seems candidates make a big mistake by applying to Germany Job Seeker Visa from Kolkata & the consulate is always ready not to accept but to reject the most eligible candidates too. My elder brother applied with all correct documents & even he answered all weird questions smoothly but still he was rejected without any valid reason. We are truly pissed with Kolkata German Consulate. Worst service & very very demotivating from every aspect.
Bad experience. I had to take appointments for 3 consecutive days. I am not a native from kolkata. I had to stay for more days paying for unnecessary expenses. They immediately look into the application how to reject and return it back. Especially for demand draft they looked into typo errors and sent me back. Draft was 100rs more and they sent me to redo the draft with exact amounts. I don't understand converting the fee in eur to INR doesn't lead to the exact amount they state in the website. So how does it make difference if it's 100 rs more. Some Indian staff are rude and some are helpful and good. I recommend to make demand draft in Vijaya Bank very next to the embassy. They take draft amounts in cash and they type the beneficiary name exactly. Other banks keep asking for cheque to make drafts and also definitely make typo mistakes. My application was post doc position.
A horrible experience. The staff is extremely rude and is looking to find reasons for not doing their work. As soon as my turn came the lady was just trying to find ways to not accept my application. All 5 people in front of me were rejected for some pretext. VFS is ruining careers of people instead of helping them.
Very good and effective
Worst place. I was just 5 minute late for appointment because I came from 800km away by train just for appointment (train was delayed by 1.5 hours) and they told me to come again. It was thursday. Embassy is closed on friday, saturday, sunday. So they basically expected me to stay in a foreign city for 4 days.
Worse part is they didn't even courtesy to at least talk and listen to me once. They just ordered their security guards and didn't listened to me even once.
Consulate General of Federal Republic of Germany is at Alipore near Judges Court and nearer to Vijaya Bank.
Not familiar with their services but the graffiti is awesome outside he building 🤗
Typically works with German efficiency
very much disappointed.
Took them 9 months to process my application and then reject it! Following application was for Business Visa which again got rejected with no reason stated. Never faced such competency issues with Mumbai Consulate General. Stupid, arrogant people at Kolkata
