Who needs a visa for Germany?
EU citizens and citizens of Iceland, Norway, Great Britain, Liechtenstein and Switzerland do not need a visa for Germany.
As a rule, all other nationalities require a visa. However, for short stays of up to three months, the European Union has lifted the visa requirement for some of these countries, including the USA and many other American countries.
Please visit the website of the "Auswärtiges Amt" (the German Foreign Office) for current information on visa requirements.
