Welcome
German Embassy Kingston
Welcome!
During the peak travel season (July / August), the waiting time for available appointments to apply for visa is longer and can be up to 8 weeks. New dates are regularly activated in the appointment system: https://service2.diplo.de/rktermin/extern/choose_realmList.do?locationCode=king&request_locale=en Please note that it is possible to apply for a visa up to six months before the planned trip. We recommend booking appointments as soon as the travel date is set. Please understand that inquiries about appointments and special appointments cannot be answered at the moment due to the department's high workload.
In Germany, the “Land of Ideas”, we place major emphasis on education, science, research and development. This makes Germany one of the most popular countries in which to study, as well as a site for state-of-the art research and patent development. With its high quality of life, good infrastructure and central location in Europe, Germany is one of the world's most attractive bases for business. Its beautiful urban and rural landscapes, combining age-old traditions and experimental modern culture, make a trip to Germany a unique experience. Germany has something for everyone, so why not pay us a visit?

2022 was a good year for my assignment as the new German Ambassador in Jamaica as we celebrated the 60th anniversary of Jamaica’s independence and at the same time 60 years of a solid friendship among our countries.
