Where your application status lives

MigraHub's live tracker covers United States cases only, so for Germany, it points you at the authority's own tool rather than pretending.

Auswärtiges Amt — visa application status

National visa applications are tracked with the barcode from the application; permits after arrival are with the local foreigners' authority, which has no central tracker.
