German Requirements

As of February 13, 2022, Canada is no longer considered a high-risk country. This means that the below stated general entry restrictions apply. Also, every person from the age of 6 upwards is obliged to carry proof of their COVID‑19 status when entering Germany since December 23, 2021.

Canadian Requirements

Following the requirements of the Canadian authorities, any person aged 12 years and over must be fully vaccinated to travel by air from Canada to a foreign country, including Germany. People wishing to apply for an exemption are invited to contact the Canadian authorities or their airline company. German authorities cannot intervene in this matter.

Unvaccinated or partially vaccinated foreign nationals (incl. German nationals), who don’t permanently reside in Canada are allowed to depart Canada until August 31, 2022. Please check the requirements on the website of the Canadian government.

If you are travelling from Canada to Germany (and/or retour) both requirements apply to you.
