Let $K$ be a number field, and let $X \subseteq P^{s-1}_K$ be a smooth complete intersection defined over $K$. In this paper, weak approximation is shown to hold for $X$ provided $s$ exceeds some function of the degree and codimension of $X$. This is a corollary of a more general result about the number of integral points on certain affine varieties in homogeneously expanding regions. This general result is established via a suitable adaptation of the Hardy-Littlewood Circle Method.
