Can I travel to Germany with my UK Travel Document?

Post by Vasi » Sun Dec 14, 2014 12:02 pm

Hi Guys

I am a UK Travel Document holder and would like to travel to Germany, within the travel document there is no mention of Germany as valid country to travel without Visa. I was under the impression that, i am able to travel to any European country without having to have a visa.

My question is, has anyone experience this kind of situations before? and what would be the best way to over come this?

Thanks for your help in advance

If it is UK emergency travel document then it should be recognisable to German authorities. See: Germany_foreign travel advice.
Please donot send PM. Write in open forum to facilitate others too.

Which UK travel document do you have? What is your current status in the UK? To the best of my knowledge, only UK citizens has visa-free access to Germany. So, if you are on ILR or LLR (limited leave to remain), you will need to apply for a Schengen visa, which is typically always granted, on the basis of your ILR/LLR.

The ETD (emergency travel document) is issued to UK citizens who have lost their passport abroad and need to travel before a new one can be issued. So, it may or may not apply to you.
