Question

Im a greencard holder,do i need a visa going to germany?

Answer 1

yes and a passport too some new laws have just passed now everyone needs a passport to leave the united states and to come back

Answer 2

The only time you can enter a country without a visa and with just a passport if your country of origin got an agreement with that certain country i.e US ctizens to most countries, Canada, UK Australia and so on an so forth.... other than that-you need a visa...

Answer 3

This link might help.

Look for the page that sate the requirements for the country you are from. A green card is for the United States and does nothing for you in Germany. In Germany you have to have a passport. Look for the requirements to enter Germany from the country you hold a passport with.

Answer 4

As the previous answers already stated, it is impossible to tell you whether you need a visa to Germany without knowing your nationality and your purpose of visit.

The U.S. greencard only helps in that you that it makes it easier for you to get a tourist visa if you need one. For example, you might not need an invitation.

Citizens of the following countries do not need a visa to Germany for short term tourist and business purposes:

Australia, Bolivia, Brazil, Brunei, Bulgaria, Chile, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Estland, Guatemala, Honduras, Hongkong, Macao, Israel, Japan, Canada, Croatia, Latvia, Lithunia, Malaysia, Malta, Mexico, Monaco, NZ, Nicaragua, Pananma, Paraguay, Poland, Romania, San Marino, Switzerland, Singapur, Slovakia, Slovenia, South Korea, Czech R., Hungary, Uruguay, Vatican, Venezuela, USA, Cyprus.

All other countries' citizens need a visa. Apply at the consulate nearest to your residence.

Answer 5

Green card holder and living in US???? Where are you originally from? So answering this question need more details.

For Germany you don't need visa, only passport.

Call the local German embassy and ask there about the new rules.

Answer 6

The Greencard is irrelevant - that only matters in the US.

What's important is your country of origin, and what agreements they have with Germany. For citizens of most countries, it's possible to enter Germany/the EU with just a passport, if you're vacationing or there for a short visit - but you need a Visa to work and/or live there permanently.

Since we don't know your nationality, we can't really help you. Here's the official web page (in English) of the  German Federal Foreign Office; it lists all the rules and regulations, broken down by country of origin.

If you can't find what you need there, contact the German embassy and explain your situation.
