Visas and official entry information

Entry requirements depend on nationality, residence, length of stay and travel purpose. The responsible authorities, not this portal, provide authoritative information.

Find your responsible diplomatic mission

Start with the German Federal Foreign Office visa information and the German embassy or consulate responsible for your residence. Check the appropriate category and current guidance for medical travel. Do not assume a document list published for another country applies to your case.

Follow current document instructions

Authorities may request evidence of travel purpose, treatment, funding, insurance and accommodation. The current local instructions determine the documents and accepted formats. Ask the medical institution whether it can issue a required treatment or appointment confirmation; such a letter does not guarantee a visa.

Procedures and decisions

Verify fees, application procedures and processing information on official websites. Ask travel providers about changes and cancellation conditions. This portal does not submit applications, accelerate decisions or guarantee approval. Personal uncertainties should be discussed with the responsible authority or qualified advisers.
