Germany is in the Schengen area. Nationals of the US, UK, Canada, Australia, Japan, South Korea and most other visa-waiver countries may enter visa-free for up to 90 days in any 180-day period for business visits (trade-fair attendance and meetings) and won't need a visa for ROKATECH 2027; a pre-travel ETIAS authorisation for visa-exempt travellers is expected to apply. Nationals of countries without a Schengen waiver agreement need a Schengen Type C short-stay business visa (EUR 90 adult fee, typically 15 calendar days processing) and should apply at the German mission in their country of residence well before travel. Carry a passport valid for at least 3 months beyond departure, proof of accommodation, a return ticket and an invitation/registration confirmation from the organiser.
Estimated cost: Varies by visa type and nationality (check official site).
Processing: Varies by nationality; apply several weeks before travel.
Apply at the German embassy/consulate or an authorised visa centre in your country of residence; carry registration/invitation from the organiser, accommodation proof, travel medical insurance (min. EUR 30,000 cover) and return ticket. ETIAS is expected to apply to visa-exempt travellers for Schengen entry — complete it online before booking, and check the official EU portal for the current launch
