Visa Information
- The entry "Yes" against a country's name means its citizens always require a visa to enter Germany.
- The entry "No" against a country's name means its citizens do not require a visa to enter Germany. Without a visa, however, they may not stay longer than three months every half-year or take up gainful employment requiring a work permit.
Excepted are citizens of European Union member states (marked with "*").
If required, citizens of member states of the European EcoNomic Area and some other countries may obtain a residence and/or work permit after entry (these countries are marked with "**").
