Sri LankaGermany

Sri Lankan citizens who want to live and work in Germany generally need a German national visa for long-term employment. The exact visa route depends on the purpose of stay, job offer, qualification recognition, and whether the occupation is regulated. The German Embassy in Colombo says Sri Lankan and Maldivian citizens, and certain third-country nationals residing there, need a visa for long-term travel to Germany, and the intended purpose determines the visa type.
