As of Tuesday midnight, the current amendment to the entry regulation will bring further relief for Croatia, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Sweden and Cyprus when entering Austria.
From Tuesday midnight, entry from Croatia, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Sweden and Cyprus will be possible with 3-G proof – tested, recovered, vaccinated – but without mandatory quarantine, said Health Minister Wolfgang Mückstein in a statement on Monday.
“Starting tomorrow,(Tuesday) guests or returning travelers from Croatia can enter Austria without quarantine if they are tested, vaccinated or recovered,” Tourism Minister Elisabeth Köstinger (ÖVP) said after a meeting with Croatian Tourism Minister Nikolina Brnjac in Vienna on Monday, according to a press release. “This is an important step towards restoring freedom of travel in Europe.” Both Austria and Croatia are pushing for a green passport for non-EU countries (“third countries”) – analogous to the European green passport.
New entry regulation: quarantine for five countries dropped
Due to the improvement of the epidemiological situation on the ground, according to the amendment, all countries currently listed on Annex B1 (risk countries) will in future be placed on Annex A (countries with a low incidence of infection). This concerns the following countries: Croatia, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Sweden and Cyprus. Any type of entry is possible, including for tourist purposes. States with a low incidence of infection are currently also: Andorra, Australia, Belgium, Bulgaria, Denmark, Germany, Estonia, Finland, France, Lichtenstein, Greece, Ireland, Iceland, Israel, Italy, Latvia, Luxembourg, Malta, Monaco, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, San Marino, Singapore, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Switzerland, South Korea, Czech Republic, Hungary and the Vatican.If 3-G proof is missing, test must be retaken
If no current 3-G proof can be presented upon entry, a test must be taken immediately, but in any case within 24 hours. A vaccination certificate is a document issued in German or English (e.g. yellow vaccination certificate) for a vaccination that has been approved by the EMA or has successfully passed the EUL process of the WHO. A recovery certificate is a medical or official confirmation (e.g. segregation notice) in German or English language about an infection survived in the past six months. A proof of neutralizing antibodies is equivalent to the recovery certificate, which may not be older than three months at the time of entry.
