Do I need a visa to visit Germany for a few days if I have US Green Card and am in UK on a 1-year student visa
Would I need a visa to visit Germany for a few days if I have a US green card (permanent resident) and am currently in the UK on a 1-year student visa? My citizenship is Russian. On the US immigration site it says : "A Permanent Resident of the United States can travel freely outside of the US. A passport from the country of citizenship is normally all that is needed." And the only rights citizens have that green card holders do not is voting and working some particular jobs. On the German embassy site it says US citizens do not need a visa to enter if their stay is less than 3 months. Does anyone know for sure? Thank you beforehand

Having a green card is not like being a US citizen. You are still considered as a risk when countries like Germany, France, UK, Australia and some other European countries consider you for entry. They do not allow you the same way they would allow a US citizen.

The key is whether you are a US citizen, which you are not. you would still need a Schengen visa to visit EU countries outside UK. Green card relates to your visa status in the US, which is irrelevant.
