German nationals applying for a passport should note, that passport processing time is 4-6 weeks and fees for the passport must be paid when applying by credit card or in cash. Since January 2013 German nationals can also apply for new identity cards. The processing time of an identity card is 6-8 weeks. All consular fees are paid in EUR.

EU nationals do not require a visa to enter the Federal Republic of Germany. All other foreigners require a visa for stays in Germany. A visa is not required for visits of up to 90 days in an 180day period for nationals of those countries for which the European Community has abolished the visa requirement. Since 14 May 2008, the fee for all types of visas has been EUR 60. As a rule, missions require between two and ten working days to decide on an application for a short stay visa. Applications for visas entitling the holder to a longer stay or to take up gainful employment may take several months to process. During the peak travel season there may be a waiting period for making an application to a German mission. Persons requiring a visa to enter Germany should therefore submit their applications in good time.

The Embassy is closed on weekends and public holidays.
