Corona information

Information on the current Corona regulations in Germany

(last update: 01.06.2022)

1.    Please note the current Corona regulations before your arrival in Germany on the information pages of the responsible German embassies/consular departments. Check which measures are valid for your country in detail. Please use the following links, among others:

2.    Please also observe individual Corona regulations and requirements   of the country you are departing from and furthermore inform yourself about individual airline requirements, as these may deviate from legal requirements (e.g. hygiene measures, required corona test)!

3.    Please also inform yourself about possible additional requirements or conditions in   transit countries. There may be separate requirements due to stopovers or transfer connections.

4.    Before starting your trip, please take out a travel health insurance in your country and provide the relevant documents on arrival in Germany.

5.    There is an obligation to wear a FFP2 mask (or comparable respirator e.g. KN95 etc. WITHOUT an outlet valve) or an OP mask in public transport and in health and social care facilities, among other places. In addition, the government recommends the wearing of masks (optional FFP2 or OP mask) in indoor areas accessible to the public, the observance of the minimum distance and the compliance   with the hygiene rules in general.

6.    From 1st June onwards, entrants will no longer need proof that they have been vaccinated, recovered or tested. Exceptions exist only for entry from a virus variant area. Here, the existing strict registration, proof and quarantine regulations continue to apply. In the future, it will be sufficient for proof of vaccination if one has been vaccinated with a vaccine recognized by the WHO. These are then also vaccines such as Sinova, Sinopharm or Coronavac from Chinese manufacturers or Covaxin from an Indian manufacturer. You can find more information about this under the following links:
