The consulate urged candidates to join updated schedules and provide the necessary documents during passport collection.
Germany remains a popular travel destination for Pakistani citizens, who are required to obtain a short -term visa Schengen before visiting.
The German embassy manages visa requests for Pakistani and Afghan citizens living in Pakistan.
In addition, in another development, a new ban on travel by President Donald Trump could prohibit people from Afghanistan and Pakistan from entering the United States next week on the basis of an examination of the Government of Countries and Risk Verification, three familiar sources with the case said.
The three sources, which requested anonymity, said that other countries could also appear on the list but did not know which ones.
This decision comes back to the ban on the first mandate of the Republican President of Travelers of Seven Nations Mainly Muslim, a policy that has undergone several iterations before it was confirmed by the Supreme Court in 2018.
Former President Joe Biden, a democrat who succeeded Trump, repealed the ban in 2021, calling him “a task on our national conscience”.
The new ban could affect tens of thousands of Afghans who have been authorized to reinstall in the United States as refugees or on special immigrant visas because they may take over Taliban to work for the United States during a 20-year war in their country of origin.
Trump has published a decree of January 20 demanding an intensified verification of the security of any foreigner requesting admission to the United States to detect national security threats.
This ordinance ordered several members of the cabinet to submit by March 12 a list of countries from which travel should be partly or entirely suspended because their “verification and screening information are so deficient”.
