Proof of vaccination, proof of recovery (from COVID-19) or proof of testing is no longer required to enter Germany.

The testing requirement that applies since 9 January, 2023 does not apply to travelers who have been in Hong Kong for the last ten days prior to traveling to Germany. Person 12 years or older who live or have stayed within the last ten days in Mainland China or Macao are required to submit a RAT not older than 48 hours upon arrival in Germany.
