Germany is part of the Schengen Area. Visitors from visa-exempt countries can stay up to 90 days in any 180-day period; check the official ETIAS website before travelling, as an online travel authorisation is being introduced for them. Everyone else needs a Schengen short-stay (type C) visa, which covers attending conferences. Book your visa appointment early, especially for spring and autumn events, and include the organiser's invitation letter and your registration confirmation. Waiting times at German missions can be long in peak season.
Best time to go: The busiest periods are March–June and September–November.
Visa rules change often. Always confirm the latest requirements on the official government website before you book.
If your nationality is not visa-exempt, apply for a Schengen short-stay (type C) visa at the German embassy or consulate, with your invitation letter, registration confirmation, travel insurance and proof of funds.
Most international conferences in Germany use English. National society meetings may run partly in German, so check the programme language before registering.
