The current amendment of the entry regulation brings further travel relaxations. The new regulations begun last Tuesday, 2 June 2021. For more countries, entry with 3-G proof – tested, recovered, vaccinated – but without mandatory quarantine will be possible. Health Minister Wolfgang Mückstein said in a statement. This concerns the following countries:
Croatia
Lithuania
Netherlands
Sweden
Cyprus
Due to the improvement of the epidemiological situation on the ground, according to the amendment, all countries that are currently listed on Annex B1 (risk countries) will in the future be listed on Annex A (countries with a low incidence of infection). This affects the following countries:
Croatia
Lithuania
Netherlands
Sweden
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
Principality
Lichtenstein
Greece
Ireland
Iceland
Israel

“Important step” towards more freedom to travel
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 document issued in German or English (e.g. yellow vaccination certificate) about a vaccination that has been approved by the EMA or has successfully passed the EUL process of the WHO counts as proof of vaccination. 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. Equivalent to the recovery certificate is proof of neutralizing antibodies, which must be no more than three months old at the time of entry.
“Since June 2, guests or returning travelers from Croatia can enter Austria without quarantine if they have been 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 the dispatch. “This is an important step towards restoring freedom of travel in Europe.”
Both Austria and Croatia are pushing for there to be a green passport for non-EU countries (“third countries”) – analogous to the European green passport.
