Travelling to Oldenburg for Mein Tier may require a Schengen short-stay (business) visa depending on your nationality. EU/EEA citizens and many other passport holders enter Germany visa-free for short visits; visa nationals must obtain a Schengen visa before departure.
Processing: Allow several weeks: book the German mission appointment early and submit proof of the 7-8 November 2026 fair visit with the application.
Carry your Mein Tier registration or exhibitor invitation, travel insurance and accommodation booking for 7-8 November 2026. Rules differ by passport, so confirm on the Federal Foreign Office site rather than relying on second-hand guidance.
