Hello
We are in Switzerland and our visa process will start soon... Any idea how much time will it take as we have to leave Switzerland by 30thJune...

Thanks

The German embassies differ a lot when it comes to visa processing time - and it also matters much which visa you are applying for (as some must be processed by the German town you intend to move to). And COVID adds a whole new layer of uncertainty.
So you better ask the embassy you are applying at (and then count on double of that).
