HC Deb 06 July 1925 vol 186 cc62-4W
Mr. J. HUDSON

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he is aware that British citizens entering Germany are still charged a visa fee of £2, and that special measures have been taken by the German Government whereby Americans entering Germany through one of the German ports and remaining in Germany not longer than four weeks may secure a visa for 50 cents; and whether he proposes to make any representations to the German Government with a view to obtaining equality of treatment as between American and British citizens?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

The scale of fees charged by the German authorities in the case of British subjects entering Germany varies in accordance with the period of validity of the visa, the fee of £2 being for a visa valid for any number of journeys for a period of six months. I am not aware that there is any different scale of fees for German visas for United States citizens.
