Inviting parents "SECOND TIME" to Germany
Hi,
Apologies if same topic has been discussed before, at least I could not find it in Visa Forum.
I am planning to invite my parents second time to Germany from 01.08.11 to 25.10.11 (ca. 3 Months). Last year they visited me from 01.10.10 till 30.11.10 (2 Months).
Now I had 2 questions regarding the same:
- If they apply this time (from Delhi Embassy), do they have to visit Embassy again?
- Are they eligible to apply for 3 months visa starting from 1st of August this year?
Thanks in advance.
-Tony

Hello I cannot the reason why they should not apply. This time suggest them to apply for the multiple entry visa and share the story.

Re: Inviting parents "SECOND TIME" to Germany
To be honest in your case, I would apply for a longer visa which allows them to come once again, for example for 2 years.
Cite the fact that they come regularly to Germany to visit you and that you have a qualified permanent job. Cite also property your parents have in India and probably also pension family etc giving them enough reasons to come back to India (and write it this way)
Cite EG Verordnung Nr. 810/2009 des Europarlaments und Rates vom 13. Juli 2009 Artikel 24 (2) as the relevant law which allows this for nationals of third country in case they have close relatives living in the EU.
It worked for me and my parents have a longer term visa now (schengen multiple entry for several years)

BTW a 2 yr visa doesnt mean that they can stay here two years but rather that the visa is valid for 2 yrs and they can come and go again without applying for new one.

Re: Inviting parents "SECOND TIME" to Germany
Yes you need a Verpflichtungserklärung where it is PREFERABLY written valid for FIRST TIME PERIOD THEY VISIT und weitere Besuchen im Zeitraum des Visum-Gültigkeit.
Its standard Schengen visa and nothing changes at all except the validity (which is a longer one).
They can visit 90 days in every 6 months (so total 6 months per year.
As the visa is issued for longer period, they cant check your parents insurance everytime they come, so you are informed specifically that you are obliged to take health insurance everytime they come.

And ofcourse having a German citizenship is not harmful here
