Visa centre or agency?
A visa centre only takes in applications for the embassies that hire it; it doesn't advise or decide. An agency can prepare your forms and documents, but you usually still hand them in at the centre yourself, and only the embassy or consulate decides. Our list has 30 visa agencies in Germany.
