Welcome
Visas and entry
Malawian and certain non-EU nationals need a visa in order to enter Germany.
The type of visa you require depends on how long you plan to stay.
Are you planning a short visit to Germany, e. g. for a holiday?
Or would you like to stay longer, e. g. to attend university?
Please choose how long you are planning to stay
For long-term stays (more than 90 days, e. g. to attend university, to work (including the opportunity card) or to join a family member in Germany)
For short stays (maximum of 90 days, e. g. for a holiday or business trip)
