Processing time for Schengen visa for travel to Germany reduced to 8 weeks

NEW DELHI: If you are planning to travel to Germany, here is a good news for you. Georg Enzweiler, the deputy head of mission at the German Embassy, announced on Wednesday that the processing time for Schengen visas to travel to Germany has been reduced to eight weeks, and more efforts are being made to further decrease this duration.

“We are very happy to have increasing numbers of tourists from India to Germany. This is one of our goals to attract people from India to visit Germany and we are doing our best to cope with the visa applications that go with it. Sometimes it's not easy, but I think we have improved a lot over the last months. But we still want to improve that further. And I'm optimistic that we can do it. We have increased staff and I think we are slowly getting there,” he said.
