The “trade fair urgent” appointment category is specifically for eligible trade-fair exhibitors who cannot obtain a regular trade-fair appointment. It is not a separate visa or guaranteed fast-track service. The German Missions state that processing can still take up to around 15 days after the application reaches the Consulate.
