Germany has launched a new online platform to simplify the visa application process for Nigerians seeking to work, study or join family members in the country.
Germany’s Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock described the online visa application portal as a positive development that will help the country meet its demand for skilled workers.
Accessible globally, the portal allows applicants to select from 28 categories of national visas and is available to all 167 German visa offices worldwide.
The Initiative is part of a broader effort to modernize the immigration process and address Germany’s pressing shortage of skilled workers.
By simplifying visa access, Germany hopes to attract skilled workers and ensure a more inclusive and responsive immigration system in line with modern demands.
