The virus can’t stop our vacation lust this year. With common sense and minimum hygienic standards, traveling is possible again. But it takes a little more preparation – what you need to pay attention to:
▶
Entry requirements:
Many states have recently issued relaxations. Travel is easier, especially within the EU. The member countries have agreed on a common approach and a color code for classifying regions – depending on the epidemiological situation.
Caution:
However, since the countries themselves can issue rules, there are different requirements for entry. One should inform oneself currently before the departure – also about those countries, which are only crossed. So has recently Slovenia tightened its requirements:
From July 15, the following applies in Slovenia the 3-G rule also applies to those who are only passing through.
Malta
No border closure for those not fully vaccinated! However, those who enter without a vaccination certificate must go into quarantine.
Green passport:
The digital certificate has been valid since July 1 in the EU as well as in
Switzerland, Iceland, Norway, Liechtenstein.
The proof of Vaccinated, Tested, Convalescent can be used digitally, via app or printed out with an ID card.
Vaccinated Certificate:
All vaccines approved in the EU apply here.
Caution:
Countries have leeway here as far as validity is concerned. As a rule, a vaccination is valid for 14 days after full immunization.
Tested certificate:
A PCR or antigen test is needed, which is valid for 72 and 48 hours, respectively.
Recovery Certificate:
Those who have undergone an infection and have been registered in the Epidemiological Reporting System automatically receive an EU-compliant certificate via gesundheit.gv.at. For those who have been vaccinated once and have recovered, there is not yet one.
Registration:
For some countries, registration is required in advance, such as for.
Greece, Spain, Turkey. There is a “recommendation” for this for Croatia.
Quarantine:
Before traveling, also check whether there must be a quarantine in your vacation country.
Return:
Before traveling home, you should not only inform yourself about specifications of individual airlines, but also take a look at the entry regulations at home. Austria distinguishes between entry from regions with a low epidemiological risk, from virus variant areas and other regions.
