Border rules in Germany
- Passport validity: the safe standard for Germany is a passport 3 months beyond the day you leave. Entry rules for your passport.
- Germany uses the EU Entry/Exit System: visitors from outside the EU give fingerprints and a face photo at the border instead of getting a passport stamp. It has been fully running since 10 April 2026.
- Schengen short stays are capped at 90 days in any 180. ETIAS, the EU travel authorisation, isn’t running yet and has no start date, so there is nothing to apply for.
- Germany visa and travel authorisation: who needs one and the official fee.
