"In order to visit or live in Berlin, one must obtain a visa or residency permit. The process of applying for a visa depends on the purpose of the visit. For example, if the purpose of the visit is tourism, then a Schengen visa is required. This visa can be obtained from the German Embassy or Consulate in the applicant's home country.

The application must be submitted to the local immigration office in Berlin," explained one expat living in Berlin, Germany.
