Travelling To Germany

If you are planning to work or study in Germany, it is essential to secure a contract of work or acceptance letter from a German university beforehand. This documentation will be required during the visa application process.

To apply for a visa to Germany, you will need to schedule an appointment at the German Embassy or Consulate in Zimbabwe. Visit the official website of the German Embassy in Zimbabwe to find the necessary information and instructions regarding visa appointments.

The visa application fee for Germany is currently USD 85. It is important to have this amount available when you submit your visa application.

Flight prices from Zimbabwe to Germany can vary depending on the airline, time of booking, and travel dates. Generally, flights can range from USD 650 to USD 850. It is advisable to compare prices from different airlines and book in advance to secure the best fares.

It is highly recommended to obtain travel insurance that covers medical expenses, trip cancellation, and any unforeseen emergencies during your stay in Germany. This will provide you with peace of mind and financial protection.

Research and book your accommodation well in advance. Whether you plan to stay in a hotel, hostel, or rented apartment, having your accommodation sorted before your arrival will make your transition smoother.

Ensure you have some Euros (€) with you before leaving Zimbabwe or exchange your currency upon arrival in Germany. Familiarize yourself with the current exchange rates to avoid any inconveniences.

Keep in mind that due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, there might be specific travel restrictions, quarantine requirements, and health protocols in place. Stay updated with the latest information from the German Embassy and follow the guidelines provided for a safe and hassle-free journey.
