Up-to-date Germany visa information
Country essentials
Access to Germany requires holding a visa whose nature depends on the purpose of travel and the planned length of stay.
For short stays, the traveller must hold a short-stay Schengen visa unless they benefit from a visa exemption. For any long stay, such as studies, employment or family reunification, a national visa application must be submitted. In some cases, a transit visa may also be required.
The short-stay Schengen visa allows third-country nationals subject to the visa requirement to enter Germany for a maximum of 90 days in any 180-day period. This visa generally does not allow professional activity.
When the stay exceeds 90 days, especially for studies, employment or family reunification, the applicant must apply for a national visa corresponding to the purpose of the stay.
For airport transit, foreign travellers making a stopover in Germany before continuing to a destination outside the Schengen area may, under certain conditions, benefit from the transit privilege. In that case, no transit visa is needed. However, an airport transit visa may be required when the traveller must leave the international transit area, particularly to change terminal, or if the final destination is in the Schengen area.
Only five German airports have an international transit area allowing travellers to change aircraft without officially entering the Schengen area. These include Berlin Brandenburg, Frankfurt am Main, Munich, Hamburg and Düsseldorf.

Follow the different steps of the procedure in order and check that your application meets the official requirements before submission. If you would like personalised support, our experts can assist you at every stage of your visa application.
The first step in the visa application is to complete the online form on the VIDEX website, regardless of the type of visa requested, such as tourism, business, medical treatment or family visit. Before starting the form, the applicant must have certain essential information, including the planned travel dates and accommodation details.
To submit a visa application, the applicant must first create an account on the TLScontact Germany website, then complete a form repeating some information already included in the VIDEX visa application form. The file can be submitted up to six months before the planned travel date.
The appointment booking system is based on a waiting list managed by the external service provider TLScontact. Appointments for Germany visa applications are allocated in chronological order of registration. Because current appointment waiting times are relatively long, it is strongly recommended to register as early as possible so the visa can be obtained before the planned travel date. An email is sent to the applicant when their turn for an appointment is reached. The applicant must then pay the TLScontact service fee within 24 hours. If payment is not made within that time, the appointment is automatically cancelled.

Medical visa applicants must register on the waiting list managed by the TLScontact service provider. Appointments are allocated automatically in chronological order of registration. In case of urgent medical treatment, the applicant may email the German Embassy in Morocco with all necessary information, including telephone contact details and supporting medical documents, such as a certificate from the treating doctor or hospital in Germany. The email subject must include the words "Medical emergency" so the request can be handled as a priority and, where capacity allows, an appointment can be obtained as soon as possible.
