Germany visa for citizens of Myanmar

For the tourist visa, Germany’s official sources give a standard fee of €90, and applications are made on videx.diplo.de. Processing time, as Germany states it: Usually 15 days after the mission receives the file, up to 45 days in individual cases; any waiting time for an appointment comes on top. Longest stay on the tourist visa: Up to 90 days in any 180-day period.

Germany has 1 mission in Myanmar, with its embassy in Yangon.

In 2025, Germany’s embassy and consulates in Myanmar (Yangon) received 2,522 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 1,946. The refusal rate was 22.3%. The refusal rate fell by 4.4 points from 26.6% in 2024. Applications rose by 18% compared with 2024 (2,138).

For comparison, all Schengen states together refused 17.1% of the applications lodged in Myanmar that year, from 8.1% at the consulates of France to 24.3% at those of the Netherlands. Germany’s consulates worldwide refused 13.1%. Germany was the most applied-for Schengen state in Myanmar.

You apply to the Schengen state that is your main destination (the longest stay or the main purpose; the state of first entry only when there is none), so a lower rate elsewhere is no reason to apply there. The figures cover applications lodged in Myanmar, by any nationality: mostly citizens, but also residents from other countries.

Before travelling from Myanmar to Germany, it helps to know the official travel advice: the US State Department rates Germany at Level 2, exercise increased caution (updated 12 May 2025) and the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office does not advise against travel to Germany (updated 11 August 2026). Each ministry writes for its own citizens.
