With effect from June 10, 2021, the Austrian pre-travel clearance will no longer be submitted from many countries. Instead, so-called 3G evidence must be provided during a check carried out by the armed forces on behalf of the respective health department.

If you travel from the so-called “Annex A countries” on Thursday and have been tested, vaccinated or recovered, you no longer have to fill out the previously mandatory pre-travel clearance. If you come from the countries that are listed in Annexes B1 or B2, nothing will change and the entry registration must continue to be made electronically and presented at a check.

Which states are on list B1 (high incidence areas)?

As of June 10, 2021: none

Which states are on list B2 (virus variant areas)?

• Brazil
• India
• South Africa
• United Kingdom

What if a state is not on any of the three lists?

Then things get complicated, because entry into Austria is then only possible in exceptional cases for people who do not have a place of residence in the Alpine republic. Austrian citizens can always enter. However, this can result in quarantine. The pre-travel clearance must be completed in any case.

For example, the holiday destination is on list A, but there is no way to be tested there. Then what is it?

If you have been vaccinated or recovered, this applies within the framework of the 3G certificate and entitles you to enter the country without quarantine. If neither is the case and you could not be tested abroad, the pre-travel clearance must be filled out. In Austria, the testing (antigen and PCR are possible) must be carried out later. The free test options can also be used for this purpose.
