🇩🇪Germany

Whether you need a visa depends on your nationality, your purpose of travel and how long you intend to stay. The official authority below publishes the current position for Germany. Mirai can check it with you and help you apply.

For a holiday, the relevant category is normally a short stay visitor or tourist visa. Where a country offers more than one route, such as an eVisa or visa on arrival, eligibility differs between them, so check which route applies to you before you apply.

• A passport with enough remaining validity and blank pages
• A completed application form and recent photographs to the required specification
• Confirmed travel and accommodation details for the trip
• Evidence of funds for the stay, usually bank statements or salary slips
• Proof of employment, business or study, depending on your situation
• Travel insurance, where the destination requires it

The official authority's list is the one that counts. Requirements differ by applicant.
