German Chancellor announces easier visas for Indian IT workers |
On the second day of his two-day visit to India, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said that his government wants to make it easier for information technology experts from India to obtain work visas in Germany as the country struggles with a shortage of skilled labor. Scholz said that by Improving the legal framework, Germany will become more attractive for software developers and those with IT development skills are a priority for his government this year. On his visit to India`s high-tech hub of Bengaluru, Scholz said “We want to make the issuing of visas easier. Aside from the legal modernization we want to modernize the entire bureaucratic process as well”. Asked about Indian workers who don`t speak German when they come to Germany, he said it should not be seen as a hurdle if people arrive in the country speaking English first and later acquire proficiency in German language.
