 Information on entry restrictions and quarantine regulations in
Germany

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, restrictions are in place for entry into Germany from a large
number of countries. Those entering Germany from risk areas must complete a digital entry
registration form, be tested for coronavirus and, depending on the regulations of the Land in
question, self-isolate.

1.1 Entry restrictions

1.1.1 Restrictions on travel from countries with coronavirus variants

A travel ban has been imposed on countries with widespread occurrence of SARS-CoV-2 virus variants
of concern (referred to as “areas of variant of concern”). Transport companies, e.g. air carriers and
railway companies, may not transport any persons from these countries to Germany. There are only a
few, strictly defined exceptions to this travel ban, namely for:
• Persons who are resident in Germany with a current right to reside in the country

• Persons on connecting flights, who do not leave the transit zone of an international airport

• Few other special cases

According to the explanatory memorandum on the law, transport shall not be denied to German citizens
who are not resident in Germany.

All those who qualify for the above-mentioned exceptions are equally required to complete an online
registration form and must present a negative COVD-19 test result prior to entry. Further information is
provided below.

Travellers can find more information about the travel ban on the website of the Federal Ministry of
the Interior. The list of “areas of variant of concern” is published on the website of the Robert Koch
Institute.

1.1.2 General Entry restrictions

For Germany, travel restrictions apply for entry from a large number of countries. These are issued by
the Federal Ministry of the Interior, Building and Community. Please check with the Federal Ministry of
the Interior, Building and Community (BMI) prior to your trip to find out what regulations apply
specifically with regard to the country from which you plan to enter Germany.
In principle, entry is possible from:

• EU member states

• states associated with Schengen: Iceland, Norway, Switzerland and Liechtenstein

• Other countries, from which entry is possible due to the epidemiological situation assessment by
the EU.
Entry from any other country is only possible in exceptional cases and is conditional on there
being urgent need.
1.2 Digital entry registration
Travellers who have visited a risk area, high incidence area or virus variant area in the last ten days
before entering Germany must register at www.einreiseanmeldung.de before arriving in Germany and
carry proof of registration with them upon entry.
This obligation always applies to those entering the country who have previously stayed in virus variant
areas. Certain exceptions apply for previous stays in other risk areas and high incidence areas. In
particular, those who have only passed through a risk area and have not had a stopover there are
exempt. If, in exceptional cases, it is not possible to complete a digital entry registration, travellers must
instead fill out a substitute registration on paper.

1.2.1 Substitute registration for entry to Germany in different languages

Travellers can find more information in a fact sheet as well as on the website of the Federal Ministry
of Health.

1.3 Test requirement on entry

Travellers aged six years or older who have been in a high incidence area or in a virus variant area in
the past ten days prior to entry into Germany must carry proof that they have been tested for infection
with SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus with them upon entry and present it to the competent authorities upon
request and, if necessary, to the transport company prior to travelling.
Travellers who have visited any other risk area (neither high incidence area nor virus variant area)
during the ten days prior to entry into Germany must be in possession of a test result no later than
48 hours after entry and present it to the competent authorities upon request.
The lists of high incidence areas, virus variant areas and other risk areas are published on the website
of the Robert Koch Institute.
The test must have been performed no more than 48 hours prior to entry (time of swabbing). Proof of
the test result must be on paper or in an electronic document in English, French or German. Travellers
can find details regarding the test requirements on the website of the Robert Koch Institute. The test
result must be kept for at least ten days after entry.
No exceptions can be made for entry from virus variant areas. Those in transit from high-incidence areas
and other risk areas are exempt from registration, testing and quarantine requirements under certain
circumstances. This includes transit through a risk area without a stopover prior to entering Germany as
well as transit through Germany via the fastest route, e.g. with a confirmed onward flight to a third
country.

Regardless of the test result, there is a quarantine obligation in accordance with the regulations of the
respective Land.

Travellers can find more information on entry regulations and testing requirements on the website of
the Federal Ministry of Health.

1.4 Quarantine regulations

In Germany, the individual Länder are responsible for quarantine regulations. The Länder have put in
place their own regulations on the basis of a specimen regulation.

Because the new specimen regulation contains significant changes, we ask that prior to entering a Land
you read the regulations on quarantine and testing carefully that apply to your specific destination. By
entering the post code of your destination you can find the contact information of your competent local
health office using the following Website: https://tools.rki.de/PLZTool/en-GB

1.4.1 Quarantine regulations

According to the new specimen regulation, the following applies as a rule:

 Upon entry to Germany following a stay in a risk area, high incidence area or virus variant area within
the last ten days, you must

• register at www.einreiseanmeldung.de before entering the country and carry proof of having done
so with you,
• be tested for infection with the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus before or immediately after entering the
country,
• proceed directly to your destination following entry and

• self-isolate there for ten days (quarantine).

Travellers can find further information on the website of the Federal Ministry of Health.

1.4.2 Info
A stay in a risk area means a stay in the area concerned at any point within the 10 days prior to entry.
What counts is whether the area was classified as a risk area at the time of entry to Germany (i.e. not
necessarily at the time of the stay).

1.4.3 Exception: transit

The obligation to self-isolate at home does not apply in the case of transit through Germany. In this
case, however, you are obliged to leave Germany immediately. The specific regulations of the Länder
apply.

1.4.4 Exception: negative test result after 5 days

The ten-day quarantine can, according to the applicable regulations of the Länder, be terminated at the
earliest after the fifth day following entry with a negative test result for infection with coronavirus SARS-
CoV-2.

1.5 How to conduct yourself when in Germany?

Mouth and nose must be covered aboard any public transport, in stores and busy outdoor places, where
the minimum distance to others cannot be kept at all times. Masks must fulfill the requirements of
FFP2, KN95/N95 or surgical masks.

If travellers develop symptoms associated with COVID-19 (coughing, a runny nose, sore throat or fever)
they should get in touch by phone with a doctor or contact the hotline 116 117. Often travel guides or
hotels can also help in such cases. Travellers should keep the contact details of their home country’s
embassy or consulate in Germany in case they need to contact them.

Information by the Federal Ministry of Health in english can be found here.

Extensive information in English and other languages on current regulations is available here.
A short overview on what to do to help protect yourself and others is available here: Coronavirus –
Informationen and practical advice.

1.5.1 Watch out for local regulations

Measures for fighting the spread of COVID-19 are subject to local regulation. This may include
quarantine measures in the case of a confirmed infection.

The international advice on reducing the spread of COVID-19 should be followed. This includes washing
hands regularly and thoroughly with soap for 20-30 seconds, sneezing into the elbow or the quick
disposal of handkerchieves or tissues, keeping a distance from other people and avoiding shaking
hands. Further information and details can be found on the World Health Organization’s Website.
Where possible, travel should be reduced and public transport avoided to further reduce the risk of
infection.
