In view of the lower numbers of infections in a number of countries outside of the EU, Germany’s Federal Government is now allowing travellers from the following countries to enter Germany for all normally permitted purposes, including tourism: Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Brunei, Canada, Jordan, Kosovo, Moldova, Montenegro and Qatar.

The new rules take effect at 00:00 on Sunday, 4 July 2021.

In making this change, the Federal Government is following a recommendation that was issued by the Council of the EU on 1 July 2021.

Unrestricted entry is already permitted for travellers from the following non-EU countries: Albania, Australia, Hong Kong, Israel, Japan, Lebanon, Macau, New Zealand, North Macedonia, Serbia, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand and the U.S.

Residents of countries on this list may enter Germany without an urgent reason for travel and regardless of their vaccination status.
