Non-essential tourist travel to Luxembourg is currently warned against due to high infection rates. EU citizens and those of Schengen area countries, as well as citizens of (e.g.) San Marino, Andorra, Monaco and the Vatican/Holy See are free to enter the territory of Luxembourg, regardless of the purpose of the stay and not only to return to their homes. There are no border controls between Luxembourg and Germany. Any person aged 6 years and up, regardless of nationality and wishing to travel by air transport to the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, must present a negative result upon boarding. The negative test result must be presented, if necessary accompanied by a translation, in one of the administrative languages of Luxembourg or in English. This applies to all departures to Luxembourg, including those from European Union Member States or the Schengen area. Since April 1, 2021 persons traveling by air from a third country are no longer required to undergo an additional rapid antigen test upon arrial at the airport in Luxembourg. On October 13, 2020, EU Member States passed a Council Recommendation regarding a coordinated approach to restrictions on movement in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. In order to reduce the spread of the coronavirus outbreak, the 27 EU Member States have taken several measures, some of which have affected the right of citizens to move freely within the European Union (e.g. such as the requirement to undergo quarantine or coronavirus testing). The Recommendation identifies the following four key areas where Member States will coordinate their efforts: i) Member States shall take into account the notification rate, the test positivity rate and the testing rate when considering restriction measures as a response to the prevention of the coronavirus spread. ii) The European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control shall publish a map of all EU Member States including Norway, Liechtenstein and Iceland reflecting the risk levels within the regions in Europe by way of using a traffic light system. Areas will be classified with green, orange, red and grey colors (e.g. if not sufficient information is available). iii) On this basis, Member States shall decide on their own whether, and which specific restrictions are to be implemented towards travelers coming to their territory. However, the Member States have agreed on the same approach regarding areas marked as green, i.e. no restrictions like testing or quarantine will be implemented to travelers coming from green areas. Further, travelers in relevant functions or need shall not be subject to quarantine measures (e.g. patients traveling for medical reasons, diplomats, journalists etc.). iv) The Member States shall provide details of any upcoming restrictions regarding the right to free movement or the cancellation of any travel restrictions to Member States and Commission. Other third-country nationals also may not enter the territory of the Grand Duchy until June 30, 2021. It should be noted that from January 1, 2021, restrictions also apply to third-country nationals residing in the UK. Passengers from the UK must have proof of a negative PCR test dated between 48 and 72 hours old and must undergo a new PCR test at Luxemboug airport as well as self-quarantine until the test result is obtained. Some exemptions of third-country nationals are allowed to enter the Grand Duchy, i.e. third-country nationals who have the status of long-term resident in accordance with European Directive 2003/109/EC on long-term residents, as well as any other person entitled to stay in the country in accordance with the corresponding European Directives and with the national law of a European Union member State or a Schengen Area associated country, and anyone who holds a national long-term visa issued by any of these States; cross-border workers; passengers in transit; passengers travelling for duly justified urgent family reasons and/or highly-qualified workers from third countries if their employment is necessary in economic terms and their work cannot be postponed or carried out from abroad. There are restrictions on international air, train and bus traffic. There are several intra-European flight connections. Buses, intercity buses and trains run to a reduced extent.

In Luxembourg, one distinguishes between isolation, quarantine and self-monitoring measures. Isolation applies to people who have been confirmed as being infected by COVID-19. They must self-isolate at home and the people living in the same house and their close contacts should quarantine themselves for 7 days.​ ​ Quarantine applies to people who have had high-risk contact with a person with a confirmed infection, i.e. face-to-face contact for more than 15 minutes, unprotected physical contact, etc. These people must stay at home for 7 days counting from the day of the last contact with the infected person.​ Self-monitoring lasts 14 days and applies to people who have had low-risk contact with a person who has been confirmed as being infected. Luxembourg has no quarantine ​obligation for travelers​​, except ​for those with a positive COVID-19 test result​. In this case, a 10 day isolation is mandatory. ​​ Passengers returning to Luxe​mbourg from the UK must meet the following conditions:1) be in possession of a negative PCR test taken less than 48 hours ago and 2) be in possession of a negative PCR test dated between 48 and 72 hours prior to arrival. These persons must undergo a new PCR test upon arrival at Luxembourg airport and must place themselves in quarantine until a negative test result has been received.

All passengers arriving into Ireland (except those arriving from Northern Ireland) are required to have a negative/‘not detected’ result from a pre-departure COVID-19 PCR test carried out no more than 72 hours prior to arrival in Ireland. Evidence of this negative/'not detected' result must be shown before boarding the airplane or ferry from the country passengers are traveling from. Travelers will be denied boarding if they cannot produce such evidence and this evidence must be shown to the Irish immigration office by arrival into Ireland. All travelers from overseas, including if they are traveling onwards to Northern Ireland, must complete a COVID-19 Passenger Locator Form which is available online. Travel to Ireland from specific designated states is subject to mandatory hotel quarantine of 14 days. This must be pre-booked in advance of travel. These arrangements apply to any passenger who has been in any of the risk countries in the previous 14 days, even if only transiting through. The list of the designated states will be subject to change at short notice and all passengers are required to check the list before traveling. Currently many African, North- and South American, Asian and European countries are affected by this regulation. The updated list of designated states will include the following countries upon April 15, 2021: Andorra, Angola, Argentina, Armenia, Aruba, Austria, Bahrain, Bangladesh, the islands of Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba, Belgium, Bermuda, Bolivia, Botswana, Brazil, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Burundi, Canada, Cape Verde, Chile, Colombia, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Curaçao, Ecuador, Eswatini, Ethiopia, France, French Guiana, Guyana, Italy, Jordan, Kenya , Kosovo, Kuwait, Lebanon, Lesotho, Luxembourg, Malawi, Moldova, Monaco, Montenegro, Mozambique, Namibia, Nigeria, North Macedonia, Maldives, Oman, Palestine, Pakistan, Paraguay, Panama, Peru, The Philippines, Puerto Rico, Qatar, Rwanda, San Marino, Serbia, Seychelles, Somalia, South Africa, Suriname, Tanzania, Turkey, Ukraine ,United Arab Emirates, United States of America, Uruguay, Venezuela, Zambia and Zimbabwe, and the Territory of the Wallis and Futuna Islands. Passengers who arrive in an Irish Airport or Sea Port without evidence of a negative/'not detected' test result will commit an offence and may be subject to prosecution, punishable by a fine not exceeding €2,500 or imprisonment for a term not exceeding 6 months or both. International Transport Workers, including workers in aviation, maritime and road haulage sectors are exempt from this requirement where they are traveling in the course of performing their duties. Passengers who arrive in Ireland solely for the purpose of traveling onwards to another state and do not leave the airport are also not required to provide evidence of a test. Children aged 6 and under are also exempt from the testing requirement, although they are advised to restrict movements for 14 days. On October 13, 2020, EU Member States passed a Council Recommendation regarding a coordinated approach to restrictions on movement in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. In order to reduce the spread of the coronavirus outbreak, the 27 EU Member States have taken several measures, some of which have affected the right of citizens to move freely within the European Union (e.g. such as the requirement to undergo quarantine or coronavirus testing). The Recommendation identifies the following four key areas where Member States will coordinate their efforts: i) Member States shall take into account the notification rate, the test positivity rate and the testing rate when considering restriction measures as a response to the prevention of the Coronavirus spread. ii) The European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control shall publish a map of all EU Member States including Norway, Liechtenstein and Iceland reflecting the risk levels within the regions in Europe by way of using a traffic light system. Areas will be classified with green, orange, red and grey colours (e.g. if not sufficient information is available). iii) On this basis, Member States shall decide on their own whether, and which specific restrictions are to be implemented towards travelers coming to their territory. However, the Member States have agreed on the same approach regarding areas marked as green, i.e. no restrictions like testing or quarantine will be implemented to travelers coming from green areas. Further, travelers in relevant functions or needs shall not be subject to quarantine measures (e.g. patients traveling for medical reasons, diplomats, journalists etc.) iv) The Member States shall provide details of any upcoming restrictions regarding the right to free movement or the cancellation of any travel restrictions to Member States and Commission. Currently, no country is on the "green list" for Ireland ("green" means the 14-day notification rate is lower than 25 cases per 100,000, and the test positivity rate below 4%). The list is available at the following link: https://www.gov.ie/en/publication/8868e-view-the-covid-19-travel-advice-list/ Transit across Irish airports is possible as long as the travelers stay within the airport area.

All passengers arriving into Ireland from designated states after 4 am on the morning of Friday, March 26, 2021 are now required to pre-book accommodation in a designated quarantine facility and to pre-pay for their stay.​​​ All passengers must undergo a 14 day quarantine period at the address specified on a Passenger Locator Form.​​​ ​Passengers coming to Irleand from countries not classified as high risk are required to quarantine at home if they can provide a negative or "not detected" PCR test result. The quanrantine can end if a (second) negative or "not detected" PCR test result is given no less than 5 days after the arrival. The Irish Defence Forces have been designated as the State Liaison Officer (SLO) to support Ireland’s mandatory hotel quarantine policy. Upon arrival into Ireland, regardless of whether passengers arrive by sea or by air, after immigration and customs processing every person will be met by members of the Defence Forces who will ensure travelers are safely and securely transported from the port of entry to the location in which travelers will complete the pre-booked mandatory hotel quarantine.​ The place of residence may only be left during the quarantine period for unavoidable reasons of an emergency nature: to protect a person’s health or welfare, to leave the State, or to avail of a test when requested to do so in writing by the HSE. A free COVID-19 test must be arranged. The test should be done 5 days after you arrived in Ireland or as soon as possible after those 5 days. T​his test will be pr​​ovided by the HSE. Travelers may leave their quarantine to take this test. Whatever the result of the test, everyone must complete the 14 day period of quarantine. Due to the classification of Ireland as a virus variant area, when traveling from Ireland to Germany, in addition to the existing registration obligation and basic quarantine obligation, proof of negative COVID-19-tests are carried out in German or English; airlines carriers are otherwise not allowed to take people over the age of six with them.​​

This may include embassy closures, suspension of visa issuance, and other restrictions

All passengers arriving in Ireland ​(also travelers via Northern Ireland) must fill out a​​ "COVID-19 Passenger Locator Form." This is an online form. Paper versions of the form are also available at points of entry into Ireland. Failure to complete the form could result in the issuing of penalties, including a fine of up to €2,500 or imprisonment for up to 6 months.​ ​An exemption from completing the form is in place for providers of essential supply chain services such as hauliers, pilots and maritime staff.​ ​ A negative result from a COVID-19 Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) test is currently the only test type considered acceptable by Ireland’s public health authorities in relation to international travel.​ Everyone who has received the second dose of the vaccine more than two weeks prior can meet with other fully vaccinated people from one other household, indoors, without wearing masks or staying two meters apart. ​Public transport capacity is limited to 25%.​ Wearing face masks is mandatory​ ​in- and outdoors. The recommendation against COVID-19 indicated by the health authorities must be observed all the times. Level 5 of the Irish government "Plan for Living ​​with COVID-19" applies, which means to stay at home except for travel for work, education or other essential purposes or to take exercise within 5 km of home. There will be no gatherings other than small numbers at funerals and weddings. Hotels are open only for essential non-social and non-tourist purposes.​ No visitors are permitted in private homes or gardens except for essential family reasons such a​s providing care to children, elderly or vulnerable people.

Currently, all countries and territories except Greenland are defined as risk areas. From April 6, 2021 Iceland's border is open to all vaccinated and previously infected travelers. This includes travelers from non-Schengen countries and from outside the EEA area. Proof of vaccination or of a prior COVID-19 infection must be presented upon entry. Generally, all travelers are required to provide a pre-departure negative PCR test which must be taken 72 hours prior to departure. Furthermore, passengers arriving in Iceland are subject to two more PCR tests, including a quarantine of 5 days. One PCR-test must be taken upon arrival and another PCR-test must be taken 5-6 days later. Individuals who can provide proof of having been vaccinated or who can provide proof of a prior COVID-19 infection are not required to provide a PCR-test prior to boarding. The same individuals are not required to undergo screening and quarantine measures. On October 13, 2020, EU Member States passed a Council Recommendation regarding a coordinated approach to restrictions on movement in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. In order to reduce the spread of the COVID-19 outbreak, the 27 EU Member States have taken several measures, some of which have affected the right of citizens to move freely within the European Union (e.g. such as the requirement to undergo quarantine or coronavirus testing).

Further, travelers in relevant functions or need shall not be subject to quarantine measures (e.g. patients traveling for medical reasons, diplomats, journalists etc.). iv) The Member States shall provide details of any upcoming restrictions regarding the right to free movement or the cancellation of any travel restrictions to Member States and Commission. From May 1, 2021 travel restrictions will be grounded on the EU Traffic Lights map, i.e. effective May 1, 2021 individuals from green and yellow marked areas will not be subject to quarantine measures provided they can provide a negative PCR result at the border. Unnecessary tourist trips to Iceland are not recommended due to existing quarantine regulations. Travelers must complete a registration form prior to leaving for Iceland, which includes but is not limited to: contact details, flight and stay details, as well as information on health status and previous stays. Persons traveling to Iceland may not be picked up at the airport. This includes family members and friends. Arrivals to Iceland must take the flybus, a taxi, a rental car or a private car that has been dropped off at the airport.

From April 6, 2021, travelers who enter Iceland and who are not vaccinated and not previously infected have to undergo a double COVID-testing procedure along with quarantine for 5 to 6 days specified by the government.. Quarantine may only be ended after a negative test result has been received. In the event of a positive test result, isolation is mandatory. For children who have so far been exempt from testing and quarantine, the same rule applies from April 1, 2021 as it does for adults. If a positive test result is found and no suitable home quarantine accommodation can be proven, lodging in a central quarantine accommodation can be arranged. The same applies if certain virus variants are found. For all information concerning COVID-19, contact the Icelandic health authority: +354-544 4113

The tests must be done at the relevant test centres abroad no more than 48 hours before entering Germany (time of the swab). In countries where such a test is not possible, airlines may carry out the tests or charge a third party with carrying them out. 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. https://www.rki.de/DE/Content/InfAZ/N/Neuartiges_Coronavirus/Risikogebiete_neu.html ​ ​

Due to the current situation in Hungary, even fully vaccinated travelers may be at risk for getting and spreading COVID-19 variants and should avoid all travel to Hungary. Nationwide, the number of new infections exceeds 200 cases per 100,000 inhabitants over seven days, which is why Hungary is classified as an area with a particulary high risk of infection. Only Hungarian nationals can enter the country, with very few exceptions to this (e.g. passengers traveling on business). There is a general entry ban for Hungary. People who are subject to the general entry ban can apply for a special permit to enter Hungary, but are still subject to quarantine or testing. Applications for a special permit can only be submitted electronically via the Hungarian police in Hungarian or English mainly for: i) the participation in judicial or administrative proceedings in Hungary, which can be proven with a Hungarian document issued by a Hungarian court or an authority, ii) the use of medical care with a corresponding confirmation, iii) compulsory study and exams with a confirmation from the educational institution, iv) for travel in public transit to perform work with a confirmation from the employer, v) familiy events (e.g. weddings), vi) taking care of relatives, vii) participating in an international religious event of special significance. EU-internal border controls are carried out. Temperature measurements are taken as part of the border crossing. Transit through Hungary is only possible on the specific corridor routes. Cross-border train traffic between Budapest and Belgrade is suspended until further notice. The negative result of an initial negative PCR test carried out before entry will be taken into account if it is taken in Hungary, from a laboratory in the Schengen area, USA or was performed in Canada and the negative test result is presented in English or Hungarian. On October 13, 2020, EU Member States passed a Council Recommendation regarding a coordinated approach to restrictions on movement in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. In order to reduce the spread of the coronavirus outbreak, the 27 EU Member States have taken several measures, some of which have affected the right of citizens to move freely within the European Union (e.g. such as the requirement to undergo quarantine or coronavirus testing). The Recommendation identifies the following four key areas where Member States will coordinate their efforts: i) Member States shall take into account the notification rate, the test positivity rate and the testing rate when considering restriction measures as a response to the prevention of the Coronavirus spread, ii) The European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control shall publish a map of all EU Member States including Norway, Liechtenstein and Iceland, reflecting the risk levels within the regions in Europe by way of using a traffic light system. Areas will be classified with green, orange, red and grey colours (e.g. if not sufficient information is available), iii) On this basis, Member States shall decide on their own whether, and which specific restrictions are to be implemented towards travelers coming to their territory. However, the Member States have agreed on the same approach regarding areas marked as green, i.e. no restrictions like testing or quarantine will be implemented to travelers coming from green areas. Further, travelers in relevant functions or needs shall not be subject to quarantine measures (e.g. patients traveling for medical reasons, diplomats, journalists etc.), iv) The Member States shall provide details of any upcoming restrictions regarding the right to free movement or the cancellation of any travel restrictions to Member States and Commission. In general, entry from EU member states and Schengen member states as well as from all non-EU countries/third countries to Hungary, is only allowed for residents of Hungary and for travelers with special exemptions.
