Who Needs a Visa?

EU Nationals

Generally, EU nationals may enter, stay, and work in Germany without any visa. They only have to register at the local registration office (Einwohnermeldeamt), which issues a declaratory residence permit if their stay in Germany exceeds 90 days.

 

! Citizens of the new EU states Bulgaria and Romania still require a work permit if they are employed in Germany. These transitional rules will cease by 2014 at the latest. However, since 2009 the labor market has been open to university graduates from these new EU states. From May 2011, citizens of the EU states Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Slovakia, and Slovenia enjoy the full right of free movement of workers and have free access to the German labor market without any restrictions.
