Germany will officially abolish its global visa appeal mechanism, known as the remonstration procedure, starting July 1, 2025.
This change means foreign nationals, including Nigerians who are denied a visa, will no longer be able to file a formal objection asking the embassy to reconsider the decision.
This was disclosed by the Federal Foreign Office of Germany in an official update on its website, which also outlined several clarifications and new entry procedures for non-EU citizens seeking to live, work, or study in the country for more than 90 days.
