Visa and immigration process

“Welcome to Germany!”
German Türkei Bildung accompanies you in this process!

Turkish citizens or non-EU foreigners need a visa to enter Germany.

The type of visa depends on the duration of the planned stay. So do you want to come to Germany only for a short time, e.g. as a tourist? Or are you planning a longer stay?

We will advise and support you and help you to take the first steps with the responsible authorities.

Information on the visa application procedure can be obtained from any German mission abroad. An overview of the German missions abroad can be found on the website of the Federal Foreign Office.

Applications for long-term visas are usually submitted in person. You must provide information on the purpose of entry and stay as well as the intended place of residence and duration of stay.

Applying for a long-term visa can take several months. Waiting times are also possible when requesting an appointment at the German mission abroad. Therefore, please inform yourself in time at the responsible German mission abroad.
