Applying For German Visa In Nigeria

Applying For German Visa in Nigeria require you to gather few documents. If you are applying for a visa and your place of residence is outside Germany, you must apply for a visa at the German mission in the country of your residence.

You might be calling it the “Schengen Visa” or simply the German visa, but the result is always the same: a trip to Europe. You probably have friends or family members who’ve been to Germany/Netherlands/Denmark last summer and had just the time of their lives. Maybe they even invited you to join them but you didn’t get a visa in time because quite frankly, getting a visa can be a long and confusing process.

Entry regulations

The German government classifies countries with widespread occurrence of SARS-CoV-2 virus variants of concern as so-called areas of variant of concern. The list of areas of variant of concern is available on the website of the Robert Koch-Institute.

Travellers that have stayed in an area of variant of concern within ten days prior to their entry to Germany must observe special regulations. A travel ban applies for these areas. Transport companies may not transport any persons from these countries to Germany unless exceptions apply. Travellers are required to register before entry, provide a negative PCR-test result and quarantine for 14 days. Detailed requirements are specified below.

For travellers entering from other countries (no prior stay in an area of variant of concern) no special requirements apply on entry. In particular, neither registration nor a negative test result are necessary.

Travel bans from countries affected by coronavirus variants​​​​​​​

A travel ban is in place for countries with widespread occurrence of SARS-CoV-2 virus variants of concern (referred to as areas of variant of concern). Transport companies, e.g. air carriers and railway companies, may not transport any persons from these countries to Germany. There are only a few, strictly defined exceptions to this travel ban, namely for:

• German citizens and persons who are resident in Germany with a current right to reside in the country, as well as their spouses, partners (if entering Germany from outside the EU or the United Kingdom / Northern Ireland: only partners living in the same household) and minor children
• persons catching a connecting flight who do not leave the transit zone of a passenger airport and
• few other special cases.

Persons qualifying for these exceptions must nevertheless complete a digital entry registration before entering the country, undergo mandatory testing or provide proof of immunity, and comply with the applicable quarantine regulations for travellers entering the country.
