Germany is a Schengen state. EU/EEA and Swiss nationals travel on an ID card or passport with no visa. Many other nationalities can enter visa-free for short business visits of up to 90 days within any 180-day period, while visa-required travellers need a Schengen short-stay business visa before travelling to OUTDOOR jagd & natur. Check your nationality against the Federal Foreign Office list before booking.
Estimated cost: Schengen short-stay visa fee: EUR 90 for adults (EUR 45 for children aged 6-11); confirm the current fee with the German mission handling your application
Processing: Schengen short-stay applications are typically decided within 15 calendar days of a complete application, with extensions possible where extra checks are needed. Apply well ahead of the 2-4 April 2027 show dates and allow time for appointments at the German mission.
Carry a business invitation or exhibitor confirmation, proof of accommodation in Neumünster and travel insurance covering the Schengen area. Entry is at the discretion of border officers; the visa only covers the short stay, not employment in Germany.
