Libya Urges Germany to Reopen Embassy Consular Office in Tripoli

Libya Urges Germany to Reopen Embassy Consular Office in Tripoli

Libya’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs has called on Germany to reopen the consular section of its embassy in Tripoli in order to ease access to Schengen visas for Libyan citizens.

The request was made on Monday by Abu Bakr Al-Tawil, Director of the European Affairs Department, during a meeting with Daniel Schimsky, Germany’s chargé d’affaires in Libya, at the ministry headquarters in Tripoli.

According to the ministry, Al-Tawil stressed that the suspension of consular services has created significant difficulties for Libyans wishing to travel to Europe for business, education, and family visits. He noted that reopening the section would provide much-needed relief to travelers, strengthen cultural exchange, and support closer economic ties between the two countries.

The talks also underlined the importance of reactivating the Libyan-German Joint Committee, which serves as a platform for bilateral cooperation across multiple sectors. Both sides agreed that reviving the committee would play a key role in coordinating efforts in trade, investment, education, energy, and security.

Al-Tawil emphasized that stronger cooperation with Germany is vital for Libya’s long-term stability and development, and that expanding diplomatic and consular engagement would directly serve the interests of both peoples.

For many Libyans, the absence of consular services in Tripoli has meant having to travel abroad—often to Tunisia or Egypt—to submit Schengen visa applications. This situation has been a source of frustration and added expense. By reopening its consular office in the Libyan capital, Germany would not only improve access but also demonstrate renewed confidence in Libya’s progress toward stability.
