Visa-requirements - list of countries |
| Where do I get a visa? | Visas are issued by the mission responsible for the area where the applicant has his/her ordinary residence or domicile. | German missions abroad |
| Reqired paperwork | As a rule, you must submit your visa application, together with all necessary documents, in person at the German mission responsible for your place of residence. In order to avoid time-consuming requests for additional information or documentation, you should contact the respective mission well in advance of your travel dates to inquire about any special local requirements pertaining to visa formalities. Visa application forms can be obtained from the mission free of charge (in the local language). They can also be downloaded from the German Federal Foreign Office website and are available in the following language versions: German, German-English, German-French, German-Spanish and German-Russian. You must fill in one original application form (in some cases, more than one) and then submit it/these to the competent mission; in any case, the mission will only accept a specific language version. Please contact the mission beforehand to find out exactly which forms are reqired. Following a European Council decision of 22 December 2003, as of 1 June 2004 visa holders are as a rule required to have travel health insurance with a minimum coverage of EUR 30,000 that is valid for the entire Schengen area. If possible this insurance should be taken out in the applicant's own country, but it can also be purchased by the host. Moreover, missions must be satisfied of the applicant's willingness and ability to return to his/her own country. | German Federal Foreign Office - Visa Information |
