In a significant move for India-Germany relations, Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced Germany’s decision to increase the annual visa quota for skilled Indian professionals from 20,000 to 90,000. The announcement came after Modi’s meeting with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, where they discussed trade, defense, and technology partnerships. Scholz highlighted Germany's openness to skilled Indian workers, noting a 23,000 increase last year in Indian employees in Germany. Digitized and expedited visa processes are also planned. Scholz clarified Germany’s stance on irregular migration, focusing on streamlined entry for skilled laborers only.
