Germany has launched an online application system for the Opportunity Card Visa in India
Germany has launched an online application system for the Opportunity Card Visa in India
The German Federal Foreign Office has launched a new online visa application service in India for specific visa categories, including the Germany Opportunity Card. Initially available in Kolkata and Bengaluru, this service is aimed at skilled workers seeking to explore employment opportunities in Germany.
Key Highlights of the New Service:
Online Application:
Applicants can now submit their visa applications for the Opportunity Card via the Consular Services Portal.
The online service simplifies the process by allowing candidates to submit application forms and supporting documents electronically.
Availability in Specific Locations:
Initially, the service is available in Kolkata and Bengaluru.
This enables applicants in these cities to apply online and then schedule an appointment at the nearest German mission for biometric data collection and visa fee payment.
Alternatives for Applicants:
If you are not located in these cities or prefer not to use the online portal, you can still apply in person at your local German mission.
Application Process:
Online Application:
Visit the Consular Services Portal to start your application.
Complete the Opportunity Card application form, upload necessary documents such as proof of qualifications, language proficiency, and financial stability.
In-person Appointment:
Once you complete the online application, book an appointment at your local German mission (if not applying from Kolkata or Bengaluru) to submit biometric data and pay the visa fee.
Visa Fee:
The visa fee for the Opportunity Card is typically around €75 (subject to local conversion rates).
By offering this service, the German government aims to make the visa application process more efficient and accessible for skilled workers in India looking to relocate to Germany for employment opportunities under the Opportunity Card program.
For detailed instructions, you can visit the Consular Services Portal or the official German embassy website in India.
