Everything organized for the visa?
In today’s episode, we’re tackling an important—though not-so-funny—topic: visas.
We’re joined by Charlene and Emma, two members of the hosting team for the IFTR conference in Cologne. They’re the go-to contacts for all questions about visas for Germany—or more precisely, for the Schengen area.
While we’re not legal experts, Charlene and Emma share essential facts and to-dos to help make your trip and entry into Germany as smooth as possible.
