With effect from Saturday, 30^th January, 2021, a general travel and entry ban has been imposed from Ireland to Germany. Up to the 3^rd of March, 2021, a visa can therefore only be issued in exceptional cases.

The travel ban also applies to national visas for establishing residence in Germany.

For more detailed Information, please have a look at our FAQs.

Short-term visas are also called “Schengen-Visa” as they allow a stay up to 90 days in a 180-day timeframe in the Schengen area. A short-term visa is needed for any stay shorter than 90 days.

If you intend to stay longer than 90 days, you would have to apply for a long-term visa (also called “national visa”).
