The Germany Culture, Sport & Religious Visa is a short-stay Schengen visa (Type C) for taking part in cultural, sporting or religious events and activities in Germany — performances, competitions, festivals and religious gatherings — for up to 90 days in any 180-day period.
The application is built around the event: an invitation from the German organising body or institution setting out the activity, the dates and who covers the costs, alongside the standard Schengen documents.
Lifeset Overseas helps individuals and groups coordinate the organisation letters and supporting documents so the event and the visit are clearly evidenced.
