About the Qatari Embassy in Berlin
The Qatari Embassy in Berlin represents the State of Qatar in Germany and supports bilateral relations between Qatar and Germany. Its work includes political dialogue, economic cooperation, investment relations, cultural exchange and consular affairs.
Germany and Qatar maintain close political and economic relations. Cooperation includes energy, trade, investment, regional diplomacy and security policy, while both countries also maintain regular high-level political contacts.
Qatar is an important partner for Germany in the Gulf region. In 2026, both governments agreed to launch a strategic dialogue aimed at further developing bilateral cooperation.
Visa Information
Qatari citizens holding ordinary passports 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 or family reunification require the appropriate German national visa.
German visa applications from residents of Qatar are handled by the German Embassy in Doha. Visa applicants currently book appointments through the responsible procedure or the embassy's authorised service provider, depending on the visa category.
German citizens holding a regular passport can obtain a visa waiver when entering Qatar. The waiver is valid for 180 days, allows multiple entries and permits stays totalling up to 90 days within that validity period.
The visa waiver is available for tourism, family visits and business travel and is currently issued free of charge at entry, subject to the applicable conditions. Travellers should carry suitable proof of accommodation and their planned return or onward journey.
Holders of a German temporary passport must obtain a Qatari visa before travelling and cannot rely on the visa-waiver procedure at the border.

The consular section of the Qatari Embassy in Berlin provides services for Qatari citizens living or staying in Germany and handles selected visa, document and attestation matters.
