Do I have to go through Passport Control?
To get to passport control, simply follow the blue signs. Queue at the right counter - as an EU citizen or a citizen of a non-EU country. If you've arrived from a country that is party to the "Schengen Agreement, i.e. Belgium, Germany, France, Luxembourg, The Netherlands, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Austria, Greece, Denmark. Iceland, Norway, Finland or Sweden, then you don't need to go through passport control or customs.
Your passport or ID card must be valid for at least the duration of your visit. If you're not a citizen of a "Schengen" country, you should check in good time whether you need a visa to enter Germany. Your travel agent, airline or the German Embassy in your home country will be happy to give you any information.
If in doubt the helpline of the German Border Guard Service (Bundesgrenzschutz) can help on questions concerning entry and exit requirements. Phone: +49 (0) 69 690-78578
