Transiting Germany?
Frankfurt/Munich: airside transit is visa-free for most, but Airport Transit Visa (ATV) list nationals need one even airside. Landside transit (Schengen entry) requires meeting Schengen entry rules.
Health & Entry
Yellow fever certificate required only if you arrive from (or transited through) a country with risk of yellow fever transmission.
Routine vaccinations should be up to date. Check destination-specific advice (hepatitis A/B, typhoid, malaria prophylaxis) with a travel clinic 4–6 weeks before departure.
Travel medical insurance is strongly recommended everywhere, and mandatory for Schengen visas, Saudi e-visas, and several other programmes.
