Analysed 13 Jul 2026·2 sources analysed·India·Business
Germany and New Zealand Update Visa Requirements for Family and Temporary ApplicantsPreviousNext

Germany requires Indian nationals seeking to join family members to obtain a Family Reunification Visa, allowing spouses and minor children to enter and later apply for residence permits. Eligibility includes close relatives of legal residents who must meet financial and accommodation criteria. Meanwhile, New Zealand has updated visa rules mandating eligible student and temporary visa applicants to submit police clearance certificates with their applications to avoid refusals or reduced visa durations, aiming to streamline processing.
