The German Consulate in Karachi has temporarily suspended its services for non-EU citizens due to security concerns. This announcement was made via an official tweet from the consulate.
The consulate stated, “Due to imminent security concerns, the Consulate of the Federal Republic of Germany will be closed for non-EU citizen services until further notice.”
Although the consulate is not processing new visa applications for non-EU citizens, those with already issued visas can still pick them up.
This unexpected closure has caused uncertainty for many Pakistanis regarding their travel plans and visa applications. The consulate has not yet provided details on the specific security issues that led to this decision.
The suspension affects students, business travelers, and tourists who rely on the consulate for visas and related services. The consulate has not given a timeline for when services will resume and advises people to monitor their official channels for updates.
