Germany is part of the Schengen area, so the rules depend on your nationality. EU/EEA citizens and visa-exempt nationals (for example US, UK, Canadian, Australian, Japanese and South Korean passport holders) can attend PARKEN 2027 as business visitors for up to 90 days in any 180-day period without a visa. All other nationalities need a Schengen short-stay visa (Type C, business purpose), applied for in person at the German embassy or consulate responsible for their country of residence.

Carry the organiser's registration/invitation confirmation, hotel booking, travel medical insurance (minimum EUR 30,000 cover) and proof of funds at the visa appointment and at the border.
