Visa & Entry

German passport holders can enter the UK visa-free for stays up to 6 months as a Standard Visitor. Since Brexit, EU free movement no longer applies. You need a valid passport. National ID cards are not accepted for entry to the UK anymore. Your passport should be valid for the duration of your stay.

At the UK border you may be asked about your plans, accommodation, return ticket, and available funds. You cannot work on a Standard Visitor visa. Business meetings, conferences, and tourism are fine. Study courses under 6 months are permitted too.

For longer stays or work, you need a visa before traveling. Work visas (Skilled Worker visa) require employer sponsorship and cost from GBP 719. The application is online through gov.uk, and biometrics are collected at a visa application centre in Germany. Processing takes 3 to 8 weeks.

The UK uses eGates at major airports for passport holders aged 10 and over from EU countries. Queue times through eGates are usually under 10 minutes at Heathrow and Gatwick.
