(5 years ago)You waited more than a year to get a visa schedule at the German embassies in Albania, Serbia and other countries. Long expectations of taking a time at the German embassy with the intention of applying for obtaining a family union are handled by German media after a request from the E lefta party in [...]
The news agency, afp, stresses, that at German embassies in Albania, Serbia, Pakistan and Morocco people wait more than a year just to get a visa schedule. The same applies to Afghans and people in India who seek family unity. The data comes from the Foreign Ministry's response in Berlin following the request of the Mayta parliamentary group in Bundestag, the news group Funke Medinagrouppe reports.
To join the family in Germany, foreigners must apply for a visa in their country. This applies to parents of minor refugees and a refugee partner who already has a residence permit in Germany. Foreigners who want to join the German partner or partner also need a visa from embassy to country origin.
Germany's Foreign Ministry explains this “partially very long” with restrictions due to Corona's pandemic. The outbreak of pandemic has limited „unfortunately the working capacity of the visa sectors”, it says. „Several visa sectors should even be closed for a longer time, among them embassies in Tehran, Kiev, Cairo, Islamabad and Manila. ”
The opposition party E Lefta has criticised the German government's approach to setting visa times for the family union. The waiting time is „in an unbearablely long way, in some countries simply unacceptable”, says leftist MP Gökay Akbulut. Before the pandemic the waiting time was months. “According to me, it's an uneven treatment, if in giving of the clocks for qualified forces there is a three-week legal restriction, the nearest families often have to wait half a year or a year just to apply for the family union's application”, Akbulut said, according to Afp
