Starting from Sunday, August 22, Brazilians holding a valid German visa will finally be eligible to travel to Germany, including here work and student visa holders, after the authorities no longer consider Brazil a virus variant area but rather a high-risk area.
The Robert Koch Institute, which is the German federal government agency and research institute responsible for disease control and prevention, has removed both Brazil and Uruguay from the list of virus variant areas, which means that arrivals from these countries are now subject to facilitated entry rules.
From Sunday on, Brazilian travellers reaching Germany from their home country are required to follow the steps listed below:
- Register online at einreiseanmeldung.de and carry the confirmation with them when entering the country
- Hold proof of negative COVID-19 test results, vaccination or recovery, which should be uploaded at einreiseanmeldung.de during registration
- Quarantine for a period of ten days in Germany if no proof of vaccination, testing or recovery is presented
“Quarantine can be ended in each case from the time the negative test result has been submitted. If you have spent time in a high-risk area prior to entry, the relevant test may not be conducted earlier than five days after entry,” the German authorities explain.
Previously, as Brazil was considered a virus variant area, travellers who were permitted to enter Germany from Brazil were obliged to quarantine for two weeks, without the possibility of ending the isolation period prematurely.
Currently, there are no countries listed under Germany’s category of virus variant areas, after previously on August 1, the rest of the countries in this list were removed from it, which were Botswana, Eswatini, Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Zambia, Zimbabwe, and South Africa.
Updating the list of high-risk areas, the RKI has added several more countries to the list, including some EU countries, as follows:
- Dominica
- Greece – the regions Crete and the South Aegean
- Ireland – the regions Border and West
- Kosovo
- North Macedonia
For Greece’s regions of Crete and South Aegean, the decision becomes effective from Tuesday, August 24.
At the same time, Andorra and Spain’s autonomous communities of Asturias, Castile-La Mancha, Catalonia and Valencia, as well as the Canary Islands, have been removed from the list of high-risk areas.
The decision on Spain’s abovementioned territories follows a recommendation of the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) to facilitate entry restrictions for arrivals from Spain after the majority of the Spanish territory went from dark red into red in maps published weekly by the ECDC.
