New Delhi: Indian students admitted to German universities are unlikely to get visas in time to join the semester this year and the situation will improve only by the end of the year, German Ambassador Philipp Ackermann said on Tuesday.
Indian citizens, including thousands of students, are facing visa issues to travel to Western countries including most European states and the US. These countries have received large numbers of visa applications in recent weeks following the relaxation of travel restrictions related to Covid-19. Ackermann said Germany was "very unhappy" about the situation: "This is a big concern for us, because we want Indian citizens to get visas quickly, and we know we can't deliver the way we want now."
Currently there are more than 30,000 Indian students in Germany and their number is increasing every year. However, he said some students enrolled in German universities are not expected to get visas by the time the semester opens this year.
