Entry requirements / Visa / Passport

Make sure you are in possession of a valid passport or ID card. Depending on your destination, either a passport or an identity card may be required. Some countries also require a visa or certain vaccinations. Check with the relevant authority well in advance of travel.

To obtain a German passport, you must expect longer waiting times, especially in the high season. First and last name in your passport must be identical with those on the issued travel documents. Otherwise, the person in question will be denied entry.

In addition, most countries require that the passport be valid for six months after the return date. For some destinations, the validity period must even be considerably longer.
