COVID-19 negative certification subject to special conditions.
Document checklist:
Travellers over the age of 12 must provide proof of vaccination, recovery or a negative test result (PCR or antigen). Documents equivalent to the 'EU Digital COVID Certificate' (EUDCC) are accepted if they meet the same requirements:
1. Proof of vaccination (completed at least 14 days after receiving the full vaccination. Vaccine certificates are valid for 270 days.)
Or
2. Proof of recovery showing a positive PCR test result carried out at least 28 days but no more than 90 days prior.
Or
3. Negative result to a test taken no earlier than 48 hours before the actual or scheduled time of entry. Where entry takes place using a carrier, the scheduled time of departure is decisive. Travellers approved for entry from a stay in an area of variant concern enter home quarantine for 14 days. If using a carrier to enter Germany, the PCR test result must be less than 48 hours old at the time of the scheduled start of the journey. Furthermore, the German authorities may require travellers who spent time in an area of variant concern to take additional PCR tests after entry.
