Testing Obligation  and Entry Registration:  From 30 March 2021 a covid test is mandatory for everyone entering Germany by plane. The covid test has to be taken within 48 hours before arrival in Germany.  In addition, travelers who have been in a risk area in the last 10 days have to register at www.einreiseanmeldung.de before arriving in Germany and have proof of registration with them when entering the country.

Due to the existing travel restrictions for all unnecessary travel from third countries to the Federal Republic of Germany in order to prevent the further spread of COVID-19, the Embassy in Riyadh and the Consulate General in Jeddah can currently only accept Schengen visa applications in urgent exceptional cases. Applying for national visas for family reunion, employment or studying is possible. For more info please see the Visa Service on our website.

The telephone system of the embassy is still disrupted. Please reach out to the embassy under the following e-mail: info@riad.diplo.de
