Germany is a signatory to the 1995 Schengen Agreement.
15 European countries have implemented the 1995 Schengen Agreement: Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain and Sweden.
A Schengen visa issued by an Embassy or Consulate of the above countries allows the holder to travel freely in all of these countries.
A transit visa is not required by some of these nationals if in possession of a residence permit or visa for the UK, or they possess a "Leave to remain in the UK for an indefinite period" or a "Certificate of entitlement to the right of abode"; contact nearest German Embassy or Consulate for more information, since there are some other exceptions.
Visa required by all except the following for periods not exceeding three months and for non-business (paid work) purposes:
- nationals of Britain, Australia, Canada, USA, EU and Japan;
- nationals of Andorra, Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Bulgaria, Chile, Costa Rica, Croatia, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Hong Kong (SAR), Israel, Korea (Rep), Macau (SAR), Malaysia, Mexico, Monaco, New Zealand, Nicaragua, Niue, Panama, Paraguay, Romania, San Marino, Singapore, Switzerland, Uruguay, Vatican City and Venezuela;
- passengers continuing their journey by the same or first connecting aircraft, provided holding confirmed onward tickets and travel documents. However, the following nationals always need a visa even if transiting by the same aircraft: Afghanistan, Angola, Bangladesh, Congo (Dem Rep), Eritrea, Ethiopia, The Gambia, Ghana, India, Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Nigeria, Pakistan, Somalia, Sri Lanka, Sudan, Syrian Arab Republic and Turkey. Visitors should check with the Embassy (or Consular section at Embassy).
EU nationals do not need a visa or work permit to work in Germany. Non-EU nationals must obtain a visa/residence permit before entering Germany; permits take up to 10 weeks to process.
Spouses and children of EU nationals (providing spouse’s passport and the original marriage certificate is produced with copy, plus valid travel health insurance by Form E111; visitors are advised that E111 forms issued before 1 June 2004 are no longer valid) and nationals of some other countries receive their visas free of charge.
Passport valid for at least three months beyond length of stay is required by all except EU/EEA nationals (EU + Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway) and Swiss nationals holding a valid national ID card.
EU and EEA nationals are only required to produce evidence of their EU/EEA nationality and identity in order to be admitted to any EU/EEA Member State. This evidence can take the form of a valid national passport or national identity card. Either is acceptable. Possession of a return ticket, any length of validity on their document, sufficient funds for the length of their proposed visit should not be imposed. |
