Attempted to convert a job seeker visa to a Blue Card at Munich's KVR. The appointment wait was 12 weeks — booked through the official online system.
The officer cited insufficient salary documentation. Although my salary meets the Blue Card threshold (€43,800), they required a formal offer letter with explicit gross annual salary — my offer letter only stated monthly net. Was asked to return with updated documentation.
Issue: Offer letter format not accepted (net salary stated, not gross annual) Resolution: Resubmitted 3 weeks later with corrected offer letter. Eventually approved. Tip: Always get an offer letter stating gross annual salary explicitly.
