Launch of digitalized national visa procedure
Berlin: The digitalization of the national visa procedure has started. From now on, applications for a national visa can be submitted online via the visa portal of the Federal Foreign Office. This makes the process more convenient and efficient for applicants and visa authorities alike.
The online application is available for all types of national visas, such as work visas, study visas, and family reunion visas. Applicants can fill out the application form online, upload the necessary documents, and pay the visa fee. They will then receive a confirmation email with a personal application number.
With the application number, applicants can track the status of their application online at any time. They will also be notified by email when their visa has been approved or rejected.
The digitalization of the visa procedure is part of the Federal Foreign Office’s efforts to improve consular services. In recent years, the Office has already introduced a number of other digital services, such as the online appointment booking system and the electronic visa.
The new online visa application is expected to make the visa process more convenient and efficient for applicants and visa authorities alike. It will also help to reduce the number of incomplete applications and the time it takes to process applications.
