Germany speeds up visa issuance for Nigerian citizens

Germany has announced a reduction in visa processing times for Nigerian citizens — now applications will be processed in a maximum of three weeks. The decision is aimed at strengthening economic and cultural partnerships between the two countries.

As reported by the Consul General of Germany in Lagos, the consulate has already begun implementing a new document verification system and is expanding its staff to increase efficiency. According to him, the innovations will speed up the processing of student and business visas.

Annually, the German consulate processes more than 10,000 visa applications, and thanks to reforms, this figure could double. There are also plans to involve external service centers to process certain visa categories.

The German side emphasizes that simplifying visa procedures will be a step towards more active exchange of students, entrepreneurs, and specialists in the fields of technology and culture.

Reminder, any visa for Germany can be obtained through the specialized agency www.buch-dein-visum.de — quickly, conveniently, and without errors, with professional support at all stages of the document submission process.
