About the Philippine Embassy in Berlin
The Philippine Embassy in Berlin represents the Republic of the Philippines in Germany and supports bilateral relations between the Philippines and Germany. Its work includes political dialogue, economic cooperation, development relations, cultural exchange and consular affairs.
Germany and the Philippines maintain close and friendly relations based on shared interests and longstanding economic and cultural links. Cooperation includes trade, investment, climate protection, biodiversity and development policy.
Germany is also the Philippines' most important trade and investment partner within the European Union. Business, education, migration and cultural contacts therefore form an important part of the relationship.
Visa Information
Philippine citizens require a visa to travel to Germany. Short stays of up to 90 days within a 180-day period normally require a Schengen visa. Longer stays for purposes such as employment, study, vocational training or family reunification require the appropriate German national visa.
German visa applications from residents of the Philippines are handled through the German Embassy in Manila. The exact procedure depends on the visa category, and applicants should verify whether submission is made through the embassy or an authorised visa service provider.
German citizens can currently enter the Philippines without a visa for tourism or business for up to 30 days. Travellers must meet the applicable entry conditions, including holding an onward or return ticket.
German travellers planning to stay longer than 30 days or travel for another purpose should obtain the appropriate Philippine visa or immigration authorisation before departure.
Consular Services
The consular section of the Philippine Embassy in Berlin provides a broad range of services for Philippine citizens residing within its consular district and handles selected services for foreign nationals.
- Philippine passport applications and renewals
- Civil registration, including reports of birth, marriage and death
- Dual citizenship applications
- Authentication and notarisation of documents
- Special powers of attorney and affidavits
- Visa applications for travellers who require a Philippine visa
- Assistance to Philippine nationals in emergencies
- Selected migrant-worker and overseas employment services
Passport applications require personal appearance and biometric enrolment. Applicants must also secure an approved passport appointment before attending the Embassy in Berlin.
Other services follow different procedures. Since September 2025, authentication and notarisation, civil registration and dual citizenship applications generally no longer require an advance appointment at the Berlin embassy.
Appointments
The Philippine Embassy in Berlin does not use one general appointment system for all consular services. The procedure depends on the service requested.
Philippine passport applications require a confirmed online appointment and personal appearance. Each applicant must complete the required booking process before attending the embassy.
By contrast, since 15 September 2025, applicants for authentication or notarisation, civil registration and dual citizenship services can generally attend without an advance appointment. Qualified applicants, including certain senior citizens, persons with disabilities, pregnant women, young children and emergency cases, may also be eligible for walk-in arrangements.
