Welcome
German Consulate General Chennai
The Consulate's area of consular jurisdiction covers the states of Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Telangana and the Union Territory of Puducherry.
Indian nationals will no longer require a transit visa when travelling to another country with a layover at a German airport. The lifting of the so-called airport transit visa requirement for Indian citizens was announced in the Federal Law Gazette (Bundesgesetzblatt) on June 2, 2026, and takes effect on June 3, 2026. This implements a result of Federal Chancellor Friedrich Merz's trip to India in January of this year. It underlines the Federal Government's commitment to deepening German-Indian relations, facilitating the movement of people, and further strengthening economic ties.
Michael Hasper, Consul General
In the world of the 21st century, we are stronger together. Political and economic relations between India and Germany have never been as close as they are today. I am looking forward to further deepening the diverse exchanges between Germany and Tamil Nadu, Pondicherry, Telangana, and Andhra Pradesh
