Good to know
- Germany is part of the Schengen area. EU nationals and nationals of visa-exempt countries may enter for short stays of up to 90 days within any 180-day period without a visa.
- Other (third-country) nationals generally need a Schengen (category C) visa for short visits; whether you need one depends on your nationality.
- The standard processing fee for a Schengen visa is normally EUR 90, with reductions or waivers for certain groups (e.g. children, students and researchers).
- Applications are submitted to a German mission abroad (embassy or consulate general); the competent mission is determined by your place of ordinary residence.
- Visa-exempt non-EU visitors will additionally need an EU ETIAS travel authorisation once the EES/ETIAS system enters into operation (expected from late 2026).
As a citizen of Yemen you must apply for a visa at a Germany embassy or consulate before you travel. Start early: appointments and processing can take weeks, and you'll usually need supporting documents.
