KARACHI: The German Consulate in Karachi has announced new timings for passport collection during the holy month of Ramadan 2025.
According to the revised timings, the passport collection services will be provided from 2:30 pm to 3:30 pm, from Monday to Thursday. Whereas, on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, the consulate will be closed.
These new timings will be in effect for one month. Pakistani citizens who wish to travel to Germany are, therefore, required to obtain a short-term Schengen visa.
The German Embassy handles Schengen visa applications for Pakistani and Afghan citizens, as well as those legally residing in Pakistan.
To obtain a Schengen visa, documents that need to be submitted comprise a completed visa application form, a passport issued within the last ten years, a recent stamp-sized photograph, and fingerprints unless it has already been provided earlier in the Visa Information System.
