Business Visa For Germany From India

As of January 1, 2011, the Indian Government has imposed a bar on the issuing of new Business Visas for Germany to nationals of most countries. Those applicants who have been issued a registration certificate will not be affected by this policy. For those applicants who have not yet received their registration certificate, it is important to ensure that the application for Registration Certificate ( Letter Of Authorization) has been submitted at least 45 day before their visa application is due.
