Welcome
German Embassy Colombo
Please be advised that, in addition to the previous categories, all applicants wishing to apply for a visa for family reunion or vocational training must now submit their applications through the online portal (Auslandsportal). The portal provides detailed guidelines to help you navigate the process efficiently.
