Information for inbound and returning travellers to Lower Saxony
On 1 June 2022, the Federal Government decided to amend the Coronavirus Entry Ordinance. This means that the obligation to provide proof (vaccinated, recovered or tested negative) no longer applies to persons entering from European Union countries.
However, entry restrictions continue to apply for entry from virus variant areas. As of 10 June 2022, no country or region is considered a virus variant area.
For entry from several non-EU countries, it remains necessary to provide proof of complete vaccination protection, unless the journey is absolutely necessary.
Information on the current entry requirements is currently being revised by the federal government. Therefore, please inform yourself directly on the website of the Federal Ministry of the Interior (to the Coronavirus-FAQ of the Ministry).
