Am I allowed to go on vacation?

The answer to this question is a bit more complicated, because if you come from Vienna, Lower Austria or Burgenland, then not. The three federal states are still in a hard lockdown until at least April 18 – including an all-day curfew. This means that traveling is basically prohibited. Residents of all other Austrian states are allowed to travel abroad – more or less unhindered.

I have to go abroad on business, is that allowed?

Yes, if the trip takes place for professional reasons, this is even allowed within Austria in accommodation establishments. This also applies to the federal states of Vienna, Lower Austria and Burgenland.

What do I have to pay attention to when leaving Austria?

In principle, the Austrian federal government continues to strongly advise against traveling abroad. However, only the respective entry conditions and corona measures in the destination country need to be observed when leaving the country.

Can I re-enter Austria unhindered?

No. Anyone returning from a country with risk level 6 must first complete an (online) registration. In addition, a health certificate with negative PCR test not older than 72 hours or negative antigen test not older than 48 hours must be carried. If this is not possible, the test must be made up within 24 hours. In addition, a ten-day (home) quarantine is mandatory, from which one can be “cleared” on the fifth day of quarantine at the earliest.

Are all countries set at risk level 6?

No, exceptions are the Vatican, Iceland, Norway, Australia, New Zealand, South Korea and Singapore. For these countries “only” a high security risk applies.
