Visiting Germany for up to 90 days? Here is what you need.
If you plan to visit Germany for tourism, business, or to visit family for up to 90 days, you may need a Schengen Visa. This allows free travel across all 27 Schengen countries.
Processing Time: Usually 15 days, but can take up to 45 days during peak seasons (summer/holidays).
If you are visiting friends or family, a formal Verpflichtungserklärung (Declaration of Commitment) can significantly improve your visa chances.
We guide your host in Germany on how to obtain this document for you.
