Visa and entry requirements
Visa requirements depend on your nationality, passport and residence status. Citizens of the European Union do not require a visa to enter Germany. Many other travellers may enter the Schengen area without a visa for short stays, while some nationals must apply for a Schengen visa before travelling. Please check the official country list provided by the German Federal Foreign Office and contact the German embassy or consulate responsible for your place of residence. If you require a visa, we recommend starting the application process as early as possible.

Registered participants and speakers who require supporting documentation may request an official letter confirming their participation in the 2027 FIAF Congress. This letter only confirms the purpose of travel and does not guarantee that a visa will be issued. Visa applications are assessed exclusively by the responsible authorities.
If you need such a letter or have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us at: fiafcongress2027 [at] deutsche-kinemathek.de (fiafcongress2027[at]deutsche-kinemathek[dot]de)
