The dubious portal with content in the Albanian language "web.news72post.com" has published an article claiming that the method of applying for a visa in Germany will change from June 25th.
After fact-checking by hibrid.info, it has been confirmed that this claim is false, as the content contains old news from November 2021.
The news concerns the announcement of the German Embassy in Bosnia and Herzegovina, which concerns the application procedure for work visas for applicants from the Western Balkans region. This statement from this embassy, among other things, states that "due to the very high demand for application deadlines, which far exceed the available deadlines, a monthly lottery procedure will be used from December 2021."
So, the news is old and concerns changes to visa applications from December 2021, not from June 25 as falsely claimed in the article published by the dubious portal "web.news72post.com".
