goFLY Limited — a trusted visa processing agency in Bangladesh — specializes in Germany Tourist/Visit (Schengen C) visas. We provide end-to-end file preparation and VFS submission support for tourism, visiting family/friends, business meetings, and short medical visits.
For Student and Family Long-stay (D) visas, we provide advisory support only — including checklists, translation/legalization guidance, and appointment strategy. These categories require Embassy appointments and have separate processing tracks.
Any Germany work/job visas including Job Seeker, Opportunity Card (Chancenkarte), Ausbildung (vocational training), or employer-sponsored work permits. These require employer authorization and specific eligibility criteria that must be handled through official channels.

📊 Realistic Bangladesh Approval Rate (Official Data)
Germany's Schengen approval rate for Bangladeshi applicants is approximately 44% (German Embassy Dhaka data). Common refusal triggers: thin bank statements, weak ties to Bangladesh, inconsistent itineraries. goFLY's case-review process addresses these before submission.
goFLY's difference: We decline 50+ weak applications every year during free consultations — because approval for us means selecting the right cases AND building the right documents. Our 90%+ rate on accepted cases is what happens AFTER our pre-assessment filters out high-risk profiles.
