About the Kuwaiti Embassy in Berlin
The Kuwaiti Embassy in Berlin represents the State of Kuwait in Germany and supports bilateral relations between Kuwait and Germany. Its work includes political dialogue, economic cooperation, trade relations and consular affairs.
Germany and Kuwait maintain long-standing political and economic ties. Cooperation includes areas such as trade, investment, energy and international security.

Visa Information
Kuwaiti citizens generally require a visa to travel to Germany. For short stays of up to 90 days within a 180-day period, applicants normally need a Schengen visa. Longer stays for purposes such as work, study or family reunification require the appropriate German national visa.
Schengen visa applications from residents of Kuwait whose main destination is Germany are processed by the German Embassy in Kuwait. Applications are generally submitted through the embassy's external service provider, VFS Global. National visa applications are submitted directly to the German Embassy.
German citizens require a visa to enter Kuwait. A Kuwaiti visa can currently be obtained before travel through the relevant Kuwaiti authorities, online or, for eligible travellers, as a visa on arrival at Kuwait International Airport or an authorised land border crossing.
Travellers must meet the current entry requirements and provide a reference address in Kuwait. In addition, passports must normally remain valid for at least six months at the time of entry.
