About the Embassy of Madagascar in Berlin
The Embassy of Madagascar represents the Republic of Madagascar in Germany and supports bilateral relations between Madagascar and Germany. Although commonly referred to as the Madagascar Embassy in Berlin, the embassy is officially located in Falkensee, near Berlin.
Germany and Madagascar maintain longstanding relations. Current cooperation focuses particularly on environmental protection, renewable energy, climate adaptation and sustainable development. Germany also supports projects related to decentralisation, food security and institutional development in Madagascar.
Cultural and scientific links complement the political relationship. Cooperation between educational, research and cultural institutions also contributes to contacts between the two countries.
Visa Information
Malagasy citizens require a visa to travel to Germany. For short stays of up to 90 days, including tourism and business travel, applications are currently handled by the French Consulate General in Antananarivo on behalf of Germany.
For longer stays in Germany, including employment, study, family reunification, au pair placements and similar purposes, applicants can apply for the appropriate German national visa at the German Embassy in Antananarivo. An appointment is required for national visa applications.
German citizens require a visa to enter Madagascar. Travellers can apply for a visa before departure through the Embassy of Madagascar. In addition, tourist, cruise and sailor visas for stays of less than 60 days are currently available directly at eligible international airports and ports in Madagascar.
Entry requirements depend on the purpose and duration of the journey. Travellers should therefore check the latest visa conditions and required documents before departure.
Consular Services
The consular section of the Embassy of Madagascar provides services for Malagasy citizens residing in Germany as well as selected services for foreign nationals travelling to Madagascar.
- Malagasy passport and passport renewal matters
- Consular registration of Malagasy citizens abroad
- Civil-status related procedures
- Marriage and family-related documentation
- Citizenship and administrative matters
- Consular certificates and document services
- Visa applications for travel to Madagascar
- Consular assistance for Malagasy citizens
Some passport procedures have specific requirements. For example, the embassy currently provides certain passport renewal procedures by proxy, while other passport applications may need to be handled through another Malagasy diplomatic mission.
Applicants should always check the requirements for their particular consular service before submitting documents or arranging a visit.
Appointments
The Embassy of Madagascar states that appointments are available on request. There is currently no general public online booking system covering every consular service.
Visa applications can generally be prepared and sent to the embassy together with the required supporting documents and proof of payment. The embassy currently states that complete visa applications may take 30 working days to process.
Applicants who need to appear personally should therefore contact the embassy in advance and confirm the procedure for their specific service before travelling to Falkensee.
Diplomatic Missions between Madagascar and Germany
Madagascar's principal diplomatic representation in Germany is the Embassy of the Republic of Madagascar in Falkensee, near Berlin. Its diplomatic and consular district covers the entire Federal Republic of Germany.
Madagascar also maintains an Honorary Consul in Düsseldorf. The honorary consular district covers North Rhine-Westphalia and Hesse. As an honorary consular office, its range of services is more limited than that of the embassy.
Germany is represented in Madagascar by the German Embassy in Antananarivo. Its diplomatic and consular district covers Madagascar and Mauritius. However, the embassy is classified as a smaller mission and therefore provides only a limited range of legal and consular services.
For German visa applications from Madagascar, responsibilities are divided by visa type. Short-stay Schengen applications are handled by the French Consulate General in Antananarivo, while German national visa applications for longer stays are processed by the German Embassy there.
