Beninese Honorary Consulates in Germany

Benin has 3 honorary consulates in Germany, in Troisdorf, Saarbrücken and Munich; honorary consulates handle emergencies and simple certifications rather than visas or passports.

Benin requires a visa from German citizens, available online as an e-Visa. The application is made online on the official portal of Benin, not at a mission.

In return, Germany has an embassy in Benin, in Cotonou.

Benin in Germany

There is no embassy of Benin in Germany on record, so Germany is probably covered by an embassy of Benin in another country. Worldwide, Benin has 43 missions in 29 countries; 3 of them are in Germany.

Travel to Germany for Beninese citizens
