Germany welcomes more Kazakhstani tourists

«Summer is the time of vacations when Kazakhstani citizens want to visit Germany for leisure or to see relatives. However there?s a prejudged opinion that it is difficult to receive a German visa. In fact the percent of denied applications is small. The reasons of denials are, as a rule, incorrectly filled out application forms», - Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Germany to Kazakhstan Reiner Schlageter stated. Germany is the only Shengen country that has two visa departments in the German Embassy in Astana and the General Consulate in Almaty, according to the Ambassador. About 40,000 German visas are issued annuals. «It is very important for us that a lot of citizens of Kazakhstan could visit Germany. The more visas are issued, the better for the relations of our countries», - Reiner Schlageter noted.
