Do you need a visa to enter Germany? And if so, how does the application procedure work?

Visa - Yes or No?

Cambodian nationals require a visa to enter Germany.

EU nationals and nationals of a couple of other states are exempted. You can check here whether you need a visa or not.

If you need a visa, the next question is, which visa type you need to apply for. There are two different types of visa:

Schengen visa or national visa?

The visa type depends on the duration of your intended stay.

Are you planning a short-term stay in Germany for a period of up to 90 days – e. g. for a visit, as a tourist, on business, or for medical treatment – you will need a Schengen visa.

Or do you intend to stay long-term, e. g. to reunite with your family or to study? For stays of more than 90 days, you need to apply for a national visa.

Important notice: The acceptance of all Schengen visa applications is exclusively handled by the external service provider „VFS Global.“ This also applies to applications from family members who wish to apply for a visa under the EU Freedom of Movement Act for non-German EU citizens. The decision on a visa application, however, always remains at the discretion of the visa office of the German Embassy in Phnom Penh. Appointments at VFS Global can be booked quickly and easily via the VFS Global website.
