What are the documents needed to visit a relative in Germany?

  • If you are from a country with visa-free entry (EU, EEA, many "Western" nations"), you need a valid passport and enough funds on hand to pay for your immediate expenses.
  • If you are from a country that requires a visa, your application will have to show ties to your home nation and a stable financial situation which make it credible that you are a tourist. There is no need for a formal invitation if you can pay your own food and lodging. You would still mention your sister in your description of the itinerary and the premise of the trip.
  • If your financial situation is such that you cannot afford the trip on your own, it may help your chances if your sister signs a VerpflichtungserklΓ€rung, which is a promise to reimburse the German state for any costs if you should overstay your visa.
