GERMANY – It is generally possible for trade fair participants from abroad to enter Germany.
The German government qualifies countries as either no risk areas, high risk areas or areas of variants of concern.
No quarantine is necessary for travelers from no risk areas and vaccinated or recovered travelers from high risk areas.
In general unvaccinated travelers from high risk areas have to quarantine themselves upon arrival in Germany. However, quarantine regulations provide for exceptions for trade fair participants entering Germany from high risk areas. They are business travelers whose entry is absolutely essential and cannot be postponed. For them a quarantine obligation does not apply if they stay for up to five days and provide a negative test result, as they are considered business travelers with an urgent need to travel.
All travelers entering Germany have to provide proof of a negative test, vaccination or recovery. When entering Germany by plane travelers must provide proof upon departure. The test has to be taken no more than 48 hours (for antigen tests) or 72 hours (PCR test) before arrival in Germany and is checked by the airlines before departure. Proof of a negative test must be available in German, English, French, Italian or Spanish in paper or digital form.
