That depends on what Germany wants to do with you. From what I have researched there is no problem but the decision is made on a case by case basis.

I would check first before I booked the trip.

Are you eligible for diversion?

I would enter a guilty BUT ask for the diversion program - no diversion, no guilty plea.

So if diversion isn't available and I plead guilty would I still be able to go to germany?
