Do I need a visa for Berlin?

No – if you’re a British citizen travelling to Berlin with a valid passport, then you won’t need to apply for a visa.

Healthcare in Berlin

British citizens should have their free European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) or Global Health Insurance Card (GHIC), which can be used in Berlin and the rest of Germany. This will cover any necessary treatments you may receive at public healthcare centres or hospitals on your trip. However, it’s important to remember to still have travel insurance in place to be able to cover the costs of any unexpected medical treatment the EHIC/GHIC might not cover.

If you have pre-existing medical conditions you must declare these before you buy your policy to ensure you’re fully covered.
