Is it necessary for the husband to be present at the interview?
He will be very busy. He already had a German visa category C. Can I apply for a tourist visa for myself, my husband and my 13-year-old son. What is the interview fee?

The website of the consulate clearly states that EVERYONE who applies for a visa must appear in person for an interview. The Germans are very meticulous, and failure to appear for an interview may result in a rejection. Only booking 5* hotels and VIPs are exempted from the interview.
Tour cost. German visas are 35 euros per person. The interview is free.

"Only booking 5* hotels are exempted from the interview"
Seriously, is that enough? Has anyone already done this? And is the electronic confirmation of the hotel reservation from the booking office enough or do you need a fax from the hotel, or the original confirmation with stamps? Does the booking have to be prepaid?

what is the interview fee? you pay for the visa. the husband must be mandatory, or his documents will not even be considered.

When booking 5 * you can not go to the consulate yourself, send a representative. Information directly from the consulate (We had a 5 * reservation and a fax from the hotel said at the consulate that we could not stand in line ourselves). Booking from booking will not work, you need to either pay through a travel agency or fax from the hotel to the consulate. Well, money for this top five, of course.

Call - ask.
I had a business trip and a very good invitation, and I had to go with a colleague - they demanded the presence of both of us.
Well, my impression of the German embassy is that they are completely merciless there .... no, they didn’t kill, of course :) But it was unpleasant - these girls behave like that, each of them is the Queen of Germany in intelligence and quick wits, and all those who came for a visa are complete insignificance and their task is to let this smaller nonentity into "their" country.

The Germans follow the instructions very precisely. And if you need to appear "PERSONALLY" for an interview, it means Personally. If busy, reschedule the date of the interview.

Watercolor - A lot depends on the city and the specific head of the diplomatic mission. We used to have a consul in Yekat who frankly hated Russia, and all his employees behaved as you describe. Now a lady is at the head of the mission, and the employees have become nice, helpful, and polite.

And in general, the procedure for obtaining Schengen is a nasty thing !!!!!!!! No matter what position you occupy in society, it’s like they poke your face in the dirt!

bank96 I think you are right :)
and I agree that the Germans follow the instructions exactly, and if your case is not spelled out in the instructions, then these are not Russians for you - they will not enter into a position and will not leave :)
... I just had a rather negative impression. my situation 100% guaranteed me getting a visa and a good visa;) but nevertheless there were some stupid nit-picking - it feels like they were just very angry, whatever one may say, and I won’t even be able to fray my nerves :)))
I wrote about the embassy in Kyiv.
Maybe it's different in other cities.

I had to get visas at different embassies. The Germans are one of the most meticulous. There was a case when I was standing in line for an interview at the German consulate and out of 9 people, a visa was given to me and another woman. They often have their own internal directives there. And then you need to remember that there is a common database in Schengen and if, say, you received a Fine, or you left Schengen at the wrong time, or some other violations, then the probability of refusal at the German Consulate increases dramatically.

I do not agree. It's just that some of our compatriots consider the issue of having real estate or bank accounts to be a "poking in the dirt", especially those who do not have either one or the other. Well, you can understand the Europeans - why do they need potential illegal immigrants?

In general, advice to the author of the question - the husband must be PERSONAL! .... if the embassy does not guess - you can use a clone of your husband :) but at the same time say that this is PERSONALLY the husband so that everything is according to the instructions :)
And happy travels ;)
