Appointment at the German Office in Taipei

On May 22nd, Judy and I went to the German Office in Taipei, which is located inside Taipei 101, to be interviewed for our visas. It was my first time inside the office of taipei 101. In the beginning, you have to go to a machine at the lobby to get a guest ID card, then you take the elevator up to the 35th floor, and change to another elevator that takes you down to the 33rd floor, where the German Office in Taipei is situated.

After we entered the office, we have to wait in a common room, a lady called us over and requested for our files. She looked over both our files then started to ask us questions. First, Judy was asked several questions about her files, and it turned out that she has to hand in her language course certificates, too. As for me, basically no problem but just one. I need to hand in the correct receipt of the travel insurance because the one I handed in wasn't in the correct form.

So after the process was done, we each paid 60 Euros for the visas, and the lady told us that it would take about 4-6 weeks to verify our applications. So I guess I'll have to wait for another month to get my passport back!
