The Austrian entry regulations were changed again. A major innovation is that the full corona vaccination ("two stitches" or "one sting" at Johnson & Johnson) is now valid for 12 months instead of the previous nine months.

Only vaccines that have EMA and / or WHO approval will continue to be recognized. That still excludes the Russian vaccine Sputnik V. There are, however, tightenings with regard to some countries that are no longer on the list of “green countries”. These include Serbia, North Macedonia, Montenegro, Kosovo, Albania, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Brunei, Israel, Japan, USA and Thailand. There are de facto no changes for fully vaccinated people, unvaccinated people can be subject to quarantine.

Costa Rica and Suriname are on the list of so-called "virus variant areas". Eswatini, Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia and Zimbabwe were deleted from this “red list”. Uruguay even made it to the “green list”. Special entry regulations apply to virus variant areas.
