"In order to visit or live in Hamburg, 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. To apply for a Schengen visa, one must fill out an application form, provide a valid passport, two passport-sized photographs, proof of travel insurance, and proof of sufficient funds. The process of applying for residency in Hamburg, Germany is more complex. Depending on the purpose of the stay, one may need to apply for a residence permit, a settlement permit, or a permanent residence permit. To apply for a residence permit, one must fill out an application form, provide a valid passport, two passport-sized photographs, proof of health insurance, proof of sufficient funds, and proof of accommodation. For a settlement permit, one must provide proof of a job offer, proof of sufficient funds, and proof of accommodation.
