Since 10 June, there have been further relaxations in connection with the Corona pandemic. Travellers in particular will be pleased about this, as online registration is now no longer required when entering Austria from numerous countries. These include popular holiday destinations such as ItalySpain and Greece.

However, this rule only applies to people being tested, vaccinated, or who recovered from the virus.

Online registration no longer necessary

Travel regulations are being relaxed more and more - to the delight of all travel lovers. Since 10 June, you no longer need to register online when entering Austria from most EU countries. This means that from now on, travellers who have been vaccinated, tested or have recovered do not need to fill out the "Pre-Travel Clearance". Travel registration for entry from countries with a stable infection situation ("Annex A") only has to take place if no proof of the three requirements can be provided. However, proof must be submitted within 24 hours.

Countries with a current low incidence of infection include popular holiday destinations such as Italy, Spain and Greece, as well as numerous other countries, such as Andorra, Australia, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Principality of Liechtenstein, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Israel, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Monaco, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, San Marino, Singapore, Slovakia, Slovenia, South Korea, Sweden, Switzerland and Vatican City. "I am pleased that the epidemiological situation together with more vaccinations allows us to provide further relief for people," Austrian Health Minister Wolfgang Mückstein said in a press conference. However, in doing so, he continued to appeal to all people to get vaccinated and to take precautions while on holiday.

Regulation for risk areas remains

However, risk states and virus variant areas are of course excluded from the relaxation. Risk areas include Tunisia, Egypt and the Maldives. Travel to countries such as the UK, Nepal and South Africa is also currently discouraged, as dangerous virus mutations are rampant there.
