Can I Spend My holidays in Germany?
What documentation do I need for that?

People from all around the world can enter Germany or the European Union for a certain period of time for vacation or business trips. Depending on your country of origin however the application for a visa might be necessary. You can check the requirements on the Internet or at the German consulate in advance. In many countries, you can apply for the visa directly through official websites in combination with a valid passport. The visa must be presented upon your entry into the EU and in Germany and it later serves for identification together with your passport.
