Germany Visit Visas

Germany Thumb - Emigre Law Chambers

Germany is a fascinating destination because of its uniqueness. Germany is a popular tourist destination due to its fascinating past, reflected in its numerous historic buildings and monuments; its beautiful scenery, mountains and forests; and the country’s outstanding cuisine and beer. Standard travel costs to Germany are lower than those to other European countries.
However, many visitors will require a visa to enter Germany. While the United States, Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom, Japan, and many more have visa waiver programmes with Germany, there are still numerous countries whose nationals must get a visa, even for short tourist journeys. If you want to visit Germany for less than three months, even if it’s only to meet friends and relatives, you’ll need to apply for a Schengen visa.

Adult visas to Germany cost €80 (payable in PKR), while those for minors (6-12) cost €40 (payable in PKR). Under any circumstances, visa fees are NOT refundable if an application for a visa is denied.
