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 spread of coronavirus. 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 sufficient information is not 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. As of July 6, 2021 all travelers arriving from countries marked as green have to present either a negative result from a PCR test taken within 72 hours before arrival or a negative result from an antigen test taken no longer than 48 hours before arrival.

There is no longer a quarantine obligation for those entering from the EU or Schengen area. However, in the case of entry from risk areas a 10-day quarantine obligation applies after entry, either in one's own home or in a suitable accommodation. Travelers from risk areas who have not been vaccinated and have not recovered must also present a negative PCR test no older than 72 hours upon entry. This procedure also generally applies to all unvaccinated and unrecovered air travelers, even if they are entering from a country that is not a risk area. Without a negative test, airlines may no longer allow unvaccinated or recovering passengers to board the plane. A rapid immunological test no more than 48 hours old can also be presented for boarding. However, for entry into Liechtenstein, the result of the PCR test must be available, which must then not be older than 72 hours. Persons under 16 years of age are exempt from the testing requirement. The list of high risk countries was updated on August 4, 2021. There are currently no countries on the list of countries with a virus variant of concern. Persons who have been vaccinated or who have recovered will be permitted to enter without having to be tested or to quarantine even when travelling from these countries or regions. Those who have neither been vaccinated nor have recovered must present a negative PCR test or rapid antigen test and go into quarantine on entry. There are exemptions from the quarantine requirement, e.g. for people traveling on business for an important reason that cannot be postponed or for medical reasons, or for transit passengers who have spent less than 24 hours in a state or area with an increased risk of infection. The exemptions from travel quarantine and the requirement to be tested do not apply to people who have been vaccinated or who have recovered from COVID-19 arriving from countries with a worrying variant.

In Latvia, proof and verification of the vaccination are possible via the digital green certificate of the EU. The certificate provides standardized recognition of the holder's status in connection with vaccinations, recovery from COVID-19 or test results. All persons travelling to Latvia must fill out an electronic form on the Covidpass.lv website not earlier than 48 hours before entering Latvia and provide the requested information concerning vaccination, testing, or recovery from COVID-19. Restrictions on entry to Latvia depend on the country the person is travelling from and on whether the person has been vaccinated, or recovered from COVID-19. Travelers from e.g. Andorra, Austria, Belgium, Croatia, Cyprus, Czechia, Denmark Estonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Lithuania, Luxemburg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, San Marino, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Vatican City are allowed to enter Latvia without valid reason. Moreover, non-essential Travel to Latvia is permitted from EEA-associated countries, Albania, Armenia, Australia, Azerbaijan, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Brunei, Canada, Hong Kong, Israel, Japan, Jordan, Kosovo, Lebanon, Macau, Moldova, Montenegro, New Zealand, North Macedonia, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Serbia, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, the UK, Ukraine, and the US. All non-essential travel from other third countries to Latvia is prohibited with very few exemptions, e.g. work, study and medical treatment. Unvaccinated travelers from high risk countries outside the EU, EEA, Switzerland, or the UK may only enter Latvia for essential reasons. Nonessential travel is prohibited from locations deemed to be "Very High" risk regardless of vaccination or recovery status, currently, no locations are designated as Very High risk. Borders to Russia and Belarus are closed. 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. 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.

For travelers who have already been vaccinated twice or have recovered from a COVID-19 infection and can prove this accordingly, a quarantine requirement no longer applies. All travelers ages 12 years and older must present a negative result of a molecular PCR COVID-19 test. The certificate must be issued no earlier than 72 hours before. Those who during last three months have recovered from COVID-19 must present a doctor’s note confirming that they have had COVID-19 and that they are not currently infectious. Passengers who are unable to present proof of a negative COVID-19 test or a doctor’s note will be denied boarding. The negative test result or the doctor’s note must be in English, French, Russian or in the official language of the country where the traveler’s journey began. Persons who have been to countries that are not an EU or EEA member state, Switzerland or the UK during the past 14 days, must take another COVID-19 test at their own expense immediately upon arrival in Latvia. This requirement also applies to those arriving in Latvia in a personal vehicle. The negative COVID-19 test results must be indicated in the Covidpass.lv form, which will be checked by the State Border Guard and police officers. The registration and test obligation also applies to transit, which must take place within 12 hours of entry registration. This does not apply to international flight passengers who stay up to 48 hours, crew members who stay 72 hours or who stay in the transit area for no more than 24 hours and who can prove a connecting flight. Ship and aircraft crew members as well as seafarers who are on the way to or from their ship have no time limit for transit. Those exempted from doing the test are children under the age of 11, persons vaccinated against COVID-19 (proof must be provided), passenger carrier staff, sailors traveling for work, transit passengers who do not leave the airport control area, and members of the diplomatic corps. Tests will also not be required for those who live near the border and cross it daily for work or education. After arriving from a country with a high incidence of COVID-19, a 10 day self-isolation is compulsory for all travelers. Separate categories of people must go into a 14 day self-isolation, e.g. medical staff and employees of educational institutions, which may possibly end on the 10th day. Passengers older than 12 years may be subject to self-isolation for ten days. Travelers who have, in the previous 14 days, been only in certain countries do not need to self-isolate (i.e. Australia, Iceland, Israel, Malta, New Zealand, Portugal, Rwanda, Singapore, South Korea, Thailand and Vatican City). Persons who have been to countries that are not an EU or EEA member state, Switzerland or the UK during the past 14 days may go into self-isolation at their place of residence if the result of the test taken after their arrival in Latvia is negative. In other cases, they must isolate themselves in a hotel at their own expense. A list of countries for mandatory isolation is available under the follwing link: download (spkc.gov.lv) Mandatory isolation applies to all countries marked red and yellow in the aforementioned list. Travelers must certify that, upon arrival, they will abide by all COVID-19-related epidemiological safety measures.

There is a registration requirement for all travelers when entering Latvia. An electronic questionnaire must be completed 48 hours before the planned entry. The QR code received after registration must be shown to the border guards upon entry and kept available for controls during the entire duration of the stay. If a stay of less than 10 days is planned, you may leave Latvia on the day specified in the questionnaire for departure, subject to the quarantine regulations. The test results must already be in the electronic entry registration to be specified. The national emergency has been lifted by the national government. The outdoor restaurants, shopping centers and markets are reopened and can take place in compliance with certain restrictions and strict hygenic measures. Open-air areas of museums and nature trails are open. Relief with regard to the obligation to wear mouth and nose protection and contact restrictions apply for fully vaccinated people and people who have recovered from a COVID-19 infection. Mouth and nose protection is compulsory on public transport. A distance of two meters should be maintained wherever possible.

The Irish government advises citizens to travel safely and in accordance with public health guidance and restrictions. The current government announcement on international travel as well as information on the operating of the EU Digital COVID Certificate is available on www.gov.ie The Border and West regions are classified as high risk areas. For travellers from EU member states and associated Schengen member states, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland, who have a valid proof of vaccination or a proof of recovery from COVID in the past 180 days no travel-related testing or quarantine will be necessary. If no such proof exists, evidence of a negative RT-PCR from a test taken within 72 hours prior to arrival into Ireland will be necessary. Children between the ages of 12 and 17 must also show a negative COVID-19 PCR test unless they are fully vaccinated or have recovered from a COVID-19 infection. 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. The e-receipt must be saved for 14 days after arrival and produced upon request to a Member of An Garda Síochána. Moreover, all have to have appropriate valid proof of vaccination or recovery, or to present evidence of a negative RT-PCR result from a test taken within 72 hours prior to arrival into the country. In situations where a person is required to present evidence of a negative/'not detected' RT-PCR test prior to travel, and is unable to do so following a persistently positive RT-PCR test after recovery, a positive RT-PCR result will be acceptable which is no less than 11 days prior to the date on which the person arrives in the State and no more than 180 days prior to the date on which the person arrives. A relevant EU Digital Covid Certificate constitutes valid proof. However, non RT-PCR tests are not acceptable for entry into Ireland and passengers with a Digital Covid Certificate based on a non RT-PCR test (e.g. antigen) require proof of an additional negative RT-PCR test taken no more than 72 hours before arrival. 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. Travelers who are fully vaccinated and have the documents to prove that do not have complete a hotel quarantine. But vaccinated travelers are obliged to have a negative/’not detected’ result from a PCR test taken in the 72 hours before arrival and complete a period of self-quarantine (e.g. at home). The updated list of designated states currently includes i.e. the following countries: Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru. 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. Transit passengers who do not leave the port or airport before leaving Ireland are exempt from the regulatation for mandatory hotel quarantine. 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. Effective August 31, 2021, passengers older than 12 years entering or transiting through Ireland from Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador or Peru must have a negative COVID-19 RT-PCR test taken at most 72 hours before arrival, proof of recovery or proof of full vaccination. Those arriving from thes countries must present a quarantine hotel reservation booked at https://tinyurl.com/778s6b2p unless they can show proof of full vaccination. 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.

Fully vaccinated people who have the documents to prove that do not have to complete a mandatory hotel quarantine. Nevertheless, even vaccinated persons still have to take a negative PCR-test taken 72 hours before departure and must instead be quarantined at home or in a place specified in the passenger locator form. Children between the ages of 12 and 17 will be required to have a negative RT-PCR test taken within 72 hours prior to arrival to travel into the country, unless they have valid proof of vaccination or recovery. Children of any age, travelling with accompanying vaccinated or recovered adults will not be required to self-quarantine post arrival. However, where one accompanying adult needs to self-quarantine, then all children must also self-quarantine. From July 19, 2021 Ireland will operate the EU Digital COVID Emissions Certificate (DCC) for travel originating in the EU/EEA, subject to the prevailing public health situation. The DCC shows vaccinated people, people who have recovered from a COVID-19 infection or people, who have a negative COVID-19 test result. Passengers with a DCC do not need to undergo quarantine anymore. All passengers arriving into Ireland from designated states during the last 14 days are 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 Ireland 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. This test will be provided 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.

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. Public transport is operating with full capacity again. In public transport and taxis as well as in shops and shopping centers, face protection is mandatory. The recommendation against COVID-19 indicated by the health authorities must be observed all the times.

Currently, Iceland has classified all countries except Greenland as high-risk areas. All travellers arriving in Iceland who have stayed more than 24 hours in a defined risk area for COVID-19 in the last 14 days need to present a certificate of a negative test for SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19 upon arrival. Airline can refuse a passenger to board if they do not present a negative test that is required. Special separate rules apply to airlines regarding their obligation to check that their passengers have an approved certificate. Starting August 16, 2021, vaccinated Icelandic citizens and residents returning from abroad will be required to undergo a second PCR or rapid antigen test within 48 hours after arrival. These travelers will not be required to quarantine until test results are known. These rules are in force until October 1, 2021. All passengers born before 2005 are required to complete a pre-registration form prior to their departure to Iceland, in which they provide personal and contact details, flight information, travel dates, address (es) during their stay in Iceland and information about countries they will travel. Holders of the EU digital COVID certificates containing proof of complete vaccination, recovery from COVID-19 or a negative result of a COVID-19 test are allowed to enter Iceland without further restrictions, examinations or quarantine. However, a negative PCR- or antigen test upon entry is still required. All other travelers are subject to a pre-departure negative PCR test requirement within 72 hours before departure. In addition, they have to go through two more PCR tests: one on arrival and another 5-6 days later. All travelers undergoing border control must remain in isolation until they receive a negative result from the second PCR test. Those who test negative in the second PCR test are no longer subject to special precautions. Those who test positive need to self-isolate. Nationals from or passengers with a residence permit for Andorra, Monaco, San Marino, Switzerland, Vatican City and other EEA member states as well as British nationals with a residence certificate may enter Iceland. Also nationals from or passengers with a residence permit from Albania, Australia, Hong Kong, Israel, Japan, Rep. of Korea, Lebanon, Macao, New Zealand, North Macedonia, Rwanda, Serbia, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand and USA are allowed to enter Iceland. Transit travel via Iceland (without a stay in the country) is possible and is not subject to quarantine regulations nor to health examinations. Transit stays in the country for less than 48 hours are possible without a PCR test, but only in a quarantine accommodation.

Residents of one of the countries listed at BMI (bund.de) are allowed to enter Germany also for non-essential purposes like tourism, regardless of their vaccination status. However, proof of vaccination, proof of recovery from COVID-19, or a negative test result is still required for entry via air travel. Residents of other non-EU countries are only permitted to enter Germany if they have an urgent need to travel or if they are fully vaccinated. A person is considered a resident of a country if they have their domicile or habitual residence there. German citizens, citizens of EU Member States or Schengen Associated countries, and their family members are exempted from travel restrictions. The same applies to third-country nationals who have a long-term right of residence in an EU Member State or Schengen Associated Country (residence permit or long-term visa), and to members of their family. First-time entry by citizens of non-EU countries, however, is only permitted if they demonstrate that one of the exceptions to the entry restrictions applies to them. Starting from June 25, 2021, fully vaccinated travelers from third-country (with the exclusion of those arriving from "virus variant areas") are eligible to enter Germany, even for non-essential purposes like tourism, if 14 days have elapsed since the second dose of a Coronavirus vaccine approved by the European Medicines Agency (or single dose for Janssen/Johnson&Johnson). The vaccines approved by EMA are Pfizer, Moderna, AstraZeneca, and Janssen. Travellers reaching the country by plane will have to prove their vaccinated status. The proof of vaccination should be an "EU Digital COVID certificate" or a comparable certificate issued by the travellers’ country of residence, either in German, English, French, Italian or Spanish. For all persons residing in a third country that is not mentioned above, restrictions on travel continue to apply and these persons may enter Germany only for urgent reasons.

Bulgaria permits citizens of the EU and the Schengen Area to enter the country if they have: i) a certificate of vaccination, with the last dose of vaccine administered at least 14 days before entry, ii) a document showing a positive test result (PCR or antigen test) for people who have recovered from COVID-19 within a period of between 15 to 180 days prior to entry. Bulgaria is now connected to the EU Digital COVID certificate gateway and the EU Digital COVID Certificate will be available from July 1, 2021. They can also enter the country upon presentation of a negative PCR test. The test must not be older than 72 hours at the time of entry. Alternatively, EU citizens with a valid Bulgarian residence permit have the option to take the PCR test up to 24 hours after entry and to then end the 10-day mandatory domestic quarantine early with a negative result. Among others, bus drivers in international passenger transport, truck drivers in international freight and cargo transport, and aircraft crews are exempt from presenting a PCR test.

The "EU Digital COVID Certificate" is going to be available from July 1, 2021. Non-essential travel to Belgium and from Belgium to other countries is allowed again. However, the Belgian authorities warn against non-essential travel Travelers to Belgium must always complete and electronically send an electronic "Passenger Locator Form" (PLF) within 48 hours before entry. Proof (electronic or hard copy) should be carried on entry as checks are possible. Failure to do so may result in a fine of up to 250 euros. Entry from non-Schengen states may be refused if the form is missing or false information is provided. Details, including which group of persons must fill out the PLF, are explained in the preamble to the form. The Belgian Government has introduced a traffic light system of high, medium and low-risk regions. Each country is given a color code (red, orange, green). The measures applicable to travel to Belgium depend on the color code assigned to each country. The list of how countries are colored can be found here: https://www.info-coronavirus.be/en/colour-codes-by-country/. Persons traveling to Belgium from a "red zone" must carry a negative PCR test upon entry. The smear test must have been taken no more than 72 hours previously. Children under 6 years of age are exempt from this requirement. From July 1, 2021 people arriving from red zones within the EU are permitted to enter Belgium without the need to self-isolate if they can present a vaccination certificate against COVID-19, a recovery-certificate from COVID-19 valid between 11 and 180 days from the date of a positive PCR test, or a negative PCR test taken within the previous 72 hours. Residents in Belgium and persons of Belgian nationality can replace the pre-departure PCR test by a PCR test taken within 48 hours from arrival, by remaining in self-isolation while waiting for the test result. Also from July 1, 2021 passengers from non-EU red countries will be permitted to enter Belgium with a vaccination certificate against COVID-19. COVID-19 vaccination certificates must show the completed course of vaccination no less than 14 days ago.

There are tighter restrictions in place for visitors from very high-risk countries, however as of August 30, 2021 Belgium classifies no countries in this category. Third countries are considered to be "red" zones, with the exception of Australia, New Zealand, Rwanda, Singapore, South Korea, Thailand, Israel and Japan.

Denmark carries out a risk assessment differentiated by country and region into the categories "green", "yellow", "orange" and "red", which is updated weekly. The applicable entry rules and the classification of the risk areas are published on the Danish authorities' portal. This also provides a summary in German of the information on the Danish corona regulations that is of particular relevance to tourists. Germany, with the exception of Schleswig-Holstein (still classified "green"), is currently in the "yellow" category. For persons residing in "green" or "yellow" classified countries or regions, the following entry requirements currently apply: i) Valid reason for entry: Foreigners residing in countries or regions classified as "green" or "yellow" are allowed to enter without proving a valid reason. Foreigners residing in other countries, even if they have resided in Germany prior to entering Denmark, are generally only allowed to enter Denmark upon proof of good cause. Entry for tourist purposes is not permitted in this case. ii) Test obligation: For those entering Denmark - by air, land and sea - there is a general obligation to present a negative COVID-19 test upon entry. A PCR test may be performed up to 72 hours and an antigen test up to 48 hours before entry. In our experience, non-compliance with these requirements leads to rejection at the border. The presentation of a falsified test result is prosecuted as forgery and can be punished with imprisonment and an entry ban. For foreigners residing in a country classified as "yellow", there is an obligation to perform a second - free of charge - COVID-19 test no later than 24 hours after entry. If entering by air, this test must be done before leaving the airport. Testing centers have been established at airports, border crossings, and numerous other locations throughout the country for those entering the country. Foreigners residing in a country or region classified as "green" (currently Schleswig-Holstein) are not required to take a second test after entry. There are exceptions to the testing requirement for the following groups of people, among others: a) Children up to and including 15 years of age: Fully vaccinated persons who have been vaccinated with a vaccine approved by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) and who can either present a digital COVID-19 vaccination certificate from the EU or who are resident in an EU or Schengen state, a "yellow" or "orange" OECD state or a third country classified as "yellow" and can present another proof of vaccination. The prerequisite is the administration of the last vaccination dose more than two weeks but not more than twelve months before the start of travel. Individuals vaccinated first with AstraZeneca and then as a second dose with an mRNA vaccine (Moderna or Pfizer/BioNTech) are also considered fully vaccinated, as are individuals vaccinated with a Pfizer/BioNTech and Spikevax/Moderna vaccine combination. German digital proof of vaccination through the CovPass app is also accepted as proof of vaccination. Generally, proof of vaccination must include information on name, date of birth, type of vaccine, vaccination status and vaccination date (1st and 2nd vaccination, if second vaccination is required). The exemption does not apply to persons who have been in a country classified as "red" at the time of entry during the ten days preceding entry into Denmark. b) Persons who have recovered from a previous COVID-19 infection may also present a positive COVID-19 test (PCR test only) if that test was taken between 14 days and 12 months prior to entry. For residents of Schleswig-Holstein, a special regulation applies as residents of the border region and a negative result of a COVID-19 test performed max. 72 hours before entry is sufficient for entry. A second test after entry is not required. iii) Quarantine: Persons residing in a country classified as "green" or "yellow" are not required to undergo domestic quarantine upon entry. Persons residing in countries classified as "orange" or "red" are required to undergo ten days of domestic quarantine, which can be shortened by another negative PCR test no earlier than four days after entry. Exemptions are posted on the Danish authorities portal. Entry across the German-Danish land border is possible at all border crossings; random checks are performed upon entry into Denmark. Persons who do not meet the Corona conditional entry requirements (e.g. negative COVID-19 test result, vaccination or convalescent certificate) may be turned back at the border.

Airports are open and entries from certain countries are allowed, regardless of nationality. Depending on the infection situation, the Cypriot government classifies states into colored categories. The current classification is regularly adjusted and published in a list. Persons entering Germany who have been fully vaccinated with a vaccine approved by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) or with the vaccines Sputnik V, Sinopharm or Sinovac are exempt from the testing requirement. For the Johnson & Johnson single-use vaccine, this does not apply until 14 days after vaccination. The same applies to convalescents. Complete vaccination and recovery can only be proven in Cyprus by the European Vaccination or Convalescent Certificate (EUDCC). The yellow vaccination certificate is not accepted. Passengers of select flights will be tested upon arrival in Cyprus. This also applies to vaccinated or recovered persons. All travelers must register online prior to departure to obtain a "Cyprus Flight Pass". For this purpose, a questionnaire must be completed online and a broad waiver of liability to the Republic of Cyprus in relation to COVID-19 disease must be declared. Proof of vaccination must be attached to the online application. The "Cyprus Flight Pass" must be printed out and carried on the flight as well as the vaccination certificate. If this cannot be presented upon arrival in Cyprus, entry will be refused or a fine of 300 EUR will be imposed. If a traveler tests positive upon arrival or later, the Cypriot government is obligated to take care of them during their stay and to take care of their close contacts. This means establishing contact, accommodation in a quarantine hotel and assumption of the costs for accommodation, food and medication. In practice, however, it has become apparent that due to the very high numbers of infections since the end of June, the care of those who have tested positive and the passing on of information about the procedure is not ensured in all cases. Information is provided on telephone numbers 1474 (in Cyprus) or +357 22 285 75 (from abroad). A negative PCR test or rapid antigen test in Greek, Turkish or English must be provided and must include the traveler's name and ID/passport number. Travelers who have been fully vaccinated with a vaccine approved by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) or with the Sputnik V-, Sinopharm or Sinovac vaccines may enter the country 14 days after the last vaccination with a rapid antigen test or PCR test not older than seven days. Unvaccinated travelers require a rapid antigen test or PCR test no older than 72 hours. If entering the north for more than one day, the above quarantine rules apply.

The Czech Republic implements the European traffic light system. Countries are assigned to the green, orange, red, dark red and gray category depending on the infection and testing rate. Categorization of countries is done by the Czech Ministry of Health every Friday with validity from the following Monday. Entry is possible for EU citizens, citizens of Norway, Switzerland, Iceland and Liechtenstein and persons with a long-term or permanent residence permit from one of these countries or the Czech Republic for any reason.

A second PCR test must be performed no earlier than five days and no later than 14 days after entry. The test result must be sent to the competent sanitary authority. Only then is it possible to end the quarantine. For vaccinated and recovered EU citizens, citizens of Norway, Switzerland, Iceland and Liechtenstein and persons with a long-term or permanent residence title of one of these states or the Czech Republic, who have a Czech or in the Czech Republic recognized vaccination or recovery certificate, the testing and quarantine obligation is waived, but not the obligation to register for entry. iii) gray category: Entry from countries with an extremely high risk of infection is possible only for vaccinated persons with recognized proof of vaccination and for non-vaccinated persons only in exceptional cases with a negative antigen or PCR test, proof of an appointment to take a PCR test in the Czech Republic within 24 hours of entry, online notification and quarantine. Within 24 hours and at the earliest on the tenth and at the latest on the 14th day after entry, a further PCR test must be submitted to the competent hygiene authority in each case. For vaccinated or recovered EU citizens, nationals of Norway, Switzerland, Iceland and Liechtenstein and persons with a long-term or permanent residence title of one of these states or the Czech Republic, who have a Czech or in the Czech Republic recognized vaccination or recovery certificate, the testing and quarantine obligation is waived, but not the obligation for entry notification.

Non-essential tourist travel to Greece is currently discouraged. Entry into Greece by sea, air and land is generally only possible for all persons aged twelve years and older with a certificate in digital or written form of a negative PCR test (the sample must have been taken no more than 72 hours ago) or a rapid test (not older than 48 hours) from a recognized testing laboratory from the country of departure in English, German and other languages. The full name on the certificate must match the name on the identification document. Travelers who can provide proof of a complete vaccination (in English, German and other languages, stating the full name of the traveler, the vaccine name and the number of vaccine doses) on the basis of a digital or written certificate and have completed this 14 days before entry do not need a certificate of a negative test. In practice, the presentation of the international vaccination certificate (a yellow "International Certificates of Vaccination and Vaccination Book") is sufficient proof. Travelers who have recovered from an infection may alternatively present a certificate of recovery in digital or written form, issued by an authority or a certified laboratory.
