The most important facts at a glance

  • Find out if your destination requires a specific COVID-19 test for entry and how much in advance it has to be made.

  • On flights within Germany or from non-risk areas to Germany the testing requirement does no longer apply. When returning from risk areas testing and quarantine are mandatory. More details can be found here.

  • Corona self-tests from the drugstore or pharmacies are not recognised as proof for entry or exit. If self-tests are verified by certain providers, however, they count as valid entry documents in certain countries.

  • All travellers without symptoms can get tested at the airport. If you already have symptoms, you should report to your local health office and/or visit a doctor's office that performs COVID-19 tests.
