Do I need a visa for Germany from Bangladesh?
Discover visa requirements for your trip
Bangladeshi nationals need a Schengen short-stay (Type C) visa for a tourist trip to Germany; the fee is generally €90 for an adult.
Germany is in the Schengen Area, so the tourist visa allows up to 90 days within any 180-day period. You apply in Bangladesh before departure, with Germany as your main destination. Travel medical insurance of at least €30,000 is mandatory.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. A Bangladeshi citizen must obtain a Schengen short-stay Type C visa before travelling to Germany for tourism. The visa permits a stay of up to 90 days within any 180-day period across the entire Schengen Area.
How and where to apply
You apply in Bangladesh, at the German Embassy in Dhaka or its authorised service provider (for example VFS Global). Germany must be your main destination or your first point of entry into the Schengen Area. Book an appointment, complete the application form, and attend in person to submit your file and give biometric data.
Documents and fees
Gather a valid passport, a compliant photo, proof of accommodation, evidence of sufficient funds, a return flight reservation, and travel medical insurance covering at least €30,000. The visa fee is generally €90 for an adult; verify the exact amount and any reductions on the official sites auswaertiges-amt.de and dhaka.diplo.de.
Processing and tips
Processing usually takes 15 to 45 days, but appointment availability in Dhaka can stretch the real timeline, so plan well ahead. A complete file with a clear itinerary and well-documented funds lowers the risk of a request for additional evidence. Keep copies of every document you submit.
Common mistakes
A frequent error is choosing the wrong Schengen country: the competent consulate is the one of your main destination, here Germany. Also beware of insurance below €30,000 and weak proof of funds, classic reasons for refusal. Avoid paying for non-refundable tickets until the visa is issued.
