This means, for everyone arriving from the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Denmark and Norway the same entry rules apply as for travellers from all other countries.
From 1 February 2022, two-dose vaccinations are only valid for 180 days when in Austria. However, for entering the 270 days remain in place. The booster vaccination is valid for 270 days in both scenarios.
Two-dose vaccinations are currently valid for 270 days after the second or any additional dose. There need to be at least 14 days in between the first and second jab and 120 days between the second and third one.
The Johnson & Johnson vaccination is valid for 270 days, 22 days after the first dose. Please note: Since 3 January 2022, you need a booster to gain "2-G" status in Austria if you have only received one Johnson & Johnson dose. For entry only, one dose is currently still accepted.
If you are both vaccinated and recovered, the first dose is valid for 270 days.
BioNtech/Pfizer, AstraZeneca, Covishield, Covaxin, Johnson & Johnson, Moderna, Sinovac, and Sinopharm are valid for entering Austria.
Proof of recovery can be used for 180 days to enter Austria. A medical certificate including the date of recovery is needed. If travelling from the UK, an NHS email/text of a positive test is not sufficient.
The PCR test is valid for 72 hours. The certificate needs to be issued by an official medical authority (such as a test centre or a pharmacy) and include the date and time the test was taken. If you have already received your booster jab, you do not need a PCR test. ■ What to read next
