  • The conditions for the application for a work visa is based on nationality (i. e. if you must apply in your home country or not). Give a reference to the first application as well as citizenship and residence status of your wife. Based on this information, the process could be started now and you could be allowed to continue it during your visit.

As an Indian citizen you are required to make the application for a work visa at a consulate responsible for the area of your main residence (which in this case is not your home country).

The application will be decided (in most cases) by the local Foreigners Office in Germany and can take up to 3 months.

It would be wise to inform the Cousulate of the other, independent, visitor visa application.

It may even simplify the second application, since much of the need information is already available.
