The German consulate in Karachi has announced the revised times of the passport collection for the Sacred Month of Ramadan.
According to the consulate notification, the new calendar will be in force for a month, offering passport collection services from Monday to Thursday between 2:30 pm and 3:30 pm
The consulate urged applicants to adhere to updated times and bring the necessary documents when collecting passports.
Germany remains a popular travel destination for Pakistani citizens, who must obtain a short -term Schengen visa before visiting.
The German embassy manages visa applications for Pakistani and Afghan citizens residing in Pakistan.
In addition, in another development, a new trip prohibition of President Donald Trump could prohibit people from Afghanistan and Pakistan from entering the United States as soon as next week based on a government review of the security of countries and the risks of research of the countries, three sources familiar with the matter said.
The three sources, who requested anonymity, said that other countries could also be on the list but did not know which ones.
The movement dates back to the prohibition of the first term of the Republican President to the travelers of seven majority Muslim nations, a policy that went through several iterations before the Supreme Court confirmed the Supreme Court in 2018.
Former President Joe Biden, a Democrat who happened to Trump, repealed the ban in 2021, describing it as “a stain in our national consciousness.”
The new prohibition could affect tens of thousands of Afghans who have been authorized for resettlement in the United States as refugees or in special immigrants visas because they run the risk of Taliban remuneration for working for the United States during a 20 -year war in their country of origin.
Trump issued an executive order on January 20, which required an intensified security investigation of any foreigner seeking the admission to the US. UU. To detect national security threats.
That order ordered several cabinet members to present before March 12 a list of countries of which trips must be partly or completely suspended because their “research and detection information is very poor.”
