Austria The Austrian authorities have announced that travellers from tens of countries with a low COVID-19 infection rate will now be able to enter the country for tourism purposes without being subject to quarantine requirements.

Consequently, travellers from the following European Union and European Economic Area countries will be allowed to enter Austria without having to stay self-isolated:

Andorra, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Monaco, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, San Marino, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and Vatican City.

Additionally, in line with the EU’s Recommendation, the same relaxed rules also apply to the following third countries: Australia, Israel, New Zealand, Singapore, and South Korea.

Even though the quarantine requirement for arrivals from countries mentioned above has been abolished, certain restrictions still remain in place, SchengenVisaInfo.com reports.

All persons entering Austria must register digitally in order to obtain a “pre-travel clearance”.

Except for the pre-travel clearance, all persons entering Austria need to present one of the following documents:

A negative COVID-19 test result: all persons need to provide a PCR test not older than 72 hours or an antigen test not older than 48 hours. For the tests to be recognised they need to be issued by medical authorities. Self-tests are not valid. Children under the age of ten are exempt from the testing requirement.
A vaccination certificate: a person is considered vaccinated 22 days after this first dose is administered, which lasts three months from the vaccination date. After the second dose of the vaccine is administered, the validity of the certificate extends for another six months. Thus, the document is valid for nine months from the vaccination date.
Proof of a previous infection: travellers are also allowed to enter Austria if they have already recovered from the COVID-19. Everyone is permitted to enter the country for six months after infection.

Austria Austria is set to relax several coronavirus measures from June 10th, including rules for masks, restaurants and curfew. Here’s what you need to know.
Just over one week after relaxing a range of coronavirus measures on May 19th, Austria announced it will take steps to further relax existing measures from June 10th.

Austrian health minister Wolfgang Mückstein indicated that the previous round of relaxations has been successful, meaning that further measures can be relaxed.

The one proviso on the additional loosening of measures is that infection rates, along with hospitalisations and fatality rates, remain low in Austria.

A further round of relaxations will take place from July 1st. More information is available at the following link.

Masks

From June 10th, the mask mandate will be relaxed for outdoor areas for people who have been vaccinated, have tested negative all those who have recently recovered from the virus.

Masks have been required in outdoor areas where the mandatory two-metre distance has been difficult to maintain, for example at protests or in public spaces where large amounts of people congregate.

The indoor mask mandate however, is expected to remain in place.

Weddings

The number of people allowed at weddings is also expected to increase, although specifics of this plan have yet to be released.

Currently, food and drink may not be served at weddings and a maximum of 50 people are allowed to attend.

The relaxations are expected to include a higher maximum on attendees along with a relaxation of the ban on catering.

Restaurants

From June 10th, the mandatory closing time for restaurants will be increase from 10:00PM to midnight.

In addition, the number of people who may sit at a table will be doubled from four to eight people.

Retail

The rules are also expected to change in shops. Currently, one person is allowed per 20 square meters. This will be changed from June 10th to allow for one person per 10 square metres.

Officials plan to extend Easter COVID-19 lockdown in Vienna by five days; other provinces may follow (Reuters, 29.03.2021).

International Restrictions:
*From within the EU:

Austria adopts its own national classification of risk areas, hence travel restrictions for Austria are not based on the common “EU Traffic Lights” map.

The updated list of countries and regions affected by entry restrictions is available at the Austrian Health Ministry website (in German only) and at the tourist website Austria.info.

Travel to the province of Tirol should be limited to essential trips only. A negative COVID-19 test (no older than 48 hours) is required when leaving Tirol. Exemptions for children under 10, transit journeys, and journeys to East Tirol, Jungholz, and the Rißtal valley apply.

Is a coronavirus test required?

All travellers from risk areas are subject to the requirement for a pre-departure negative COVID-19 test.

The test (PCR) must be taken within 72 hours prior to arrival. Rapid antigen tests taken within 48 hours prior to arrival are also accepted.

In case of lack of a pre-departure test, a test must be taken within 24 hours of entering Austria.

Commuters from outside the EU+ area, or from Member States or Schengen Associated countries that are classified as risk areas, need to present a negative test result for a PCR or antigen test not older than 72 hours. All other cross-border commuters need a negative PCR or antigen test no older than 7 days. Regular commuters are required to fill in the Pre-travel clearance form.

Is a quarantine required?

All travellers arriving from risk areas must complete a 10-day mandatory quarantine.

Currently, all countries worldwide except Australia, Iceland, New Zealand, Singapore, South Korea, and the Vatican are considered risk areas.

Some categories are exempted from the quarantine requirement. These include regular cross-border commuters, business travel, travel due to unexpected personal emergencies such as funerals, and transit without a stopover.
