IMPACT – HIGH
What is the change? The German Consulate in Los Angeles is scheduled to close for approximately three months, from January through March 2017, due to remodeling.
What does the change mean? Visa and passport applicants should schedule their appointments immediately via the online appointment system while appointments are still available. Visa and passport processing will cease during the closure.
B·A·L Analysis: Foreign nationals applying for visas and German nationals applying for passports at the German Consulate in Los Angeles should plan to schedule their appointments and complete all business at the consulate by the end of the year. Additionally, applicants should factor in the holiday season and reduced staff and working hours at the consulate in December. Businesses should anticipate likely delays and a backlog. B·A·L will update clients as soon as the consulate sets out alternate procedures for Los Angeles applicants during the closure.
