When it's 6:00 PM in Birmingham, West Midlands, it's 7:00 PM in Munich.
British passport holders enter Germany (and the entire Schengen Area) visa-free for up to 90 days in any 180-day rolling period. No fee, no advance application. Passport must be valid for at least 3 months beyond the planned departure date with at least two blank pages. Since Brexit, UK passports are stamped on entry and exit, and UK nationals use the non-EU passport lanes.
Border officers can ask for proof of accommodation, return travel, and sufficient funds (Germany suggests EUR 45 per day). The 90-day limit is shared across all 29 Schengen states. ETIAS pre-travel authorization (EUR 7, valid 3 years) is expected to become mandatory in late 2026. For stays over 90 days, apply for a national visa (Aufenthaltstitel) at the German embassy in London before travel.
