Hi everyone, I’m looking for some advice from people who have dealt with the German Opportunity Card/National Visa process, especially through the German Consulate in Mumbai.

I applied for my Opportunity Card visa on 25 June 2026. It has now been more than 90 days, and I have received no clear update about my application.

I have tried contacting the German Consulate in Mumbai several times by email, but I haven't received a proper response. I also tried calling them. During my first call, I was unable to get any useful information and the call was disconnected. I called again, provided my application details again, and explained that I wanted to withdraw my visa application.

I also explained that I need:
My passport and original documents returned

Written confirmation of withdrawal

A deblocking letter/confirmation for my blocked account

Unfortunately, I found the interaction extremely discourteous. Despite having already emailed them about my situation, I was called a “liar” during the call and the call was disconnected again. I found this extremely upsetting and unprofessional.

At this point, I no longer want to continue with my visa application. I simply want to withdraw it properly, get my passport/original documents back, and obtain the necessary deblocking confirmation.

Has anyone experienced something similar with the German Consulate in Mumbai?

What is the best way to escalate this or get a response from the relevant German authorities/Federal Foreign Office? Any advice or experience would be greatly appreciated.

Hello
I have been contacted by German embassy and they asked me to change my travelling dates in health insurance and put the future dates and get back to them.

Fintiba doesn’t give me access to change those dates by myself. And as I have experience before they are not replying to your queries that fast. I don’t know if I’ll get it done by 4th of September 2026. Hoping to get it done.
Does anyone knows to how to get reply from Fintiba asap (I can’t call up to their customer support as I don’t have international call in my phone).

Please let me know if anyone got the same query as mind.

Thanks!
