However, if they come from Austria’s red list, they will be required to take a PCR test, SchengenVisaInfo.com reports.
Earlier this month, Austria permitted the entry for travellers coming from 30 European countries, the majority of which are part of the European Union and/or the European Economic Area. Internationals coming from these countries can enter Austria without the need to comply with health measures such as testing or two weeks mandatory quarantine.
Austria’s decision was announced through a press release by the Austrian Ministry of Interior.
“From 30 countries, entry to Austria is again possible without health measures. The ordinances of the Ministry of Health apply until the end of September 30, 2020. The Ministry of the Interior recommends that you contact the Ministry of Health with any questions,” the press release reads.
[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]The country’s authorities also lifted entry restrictions for the residents of 32 European countries, which are either EU or Schengen Members, or both, entering the country for essential purposes.
Residents of these countries are eligible to enter the Austrian territory without the need of presenting negative test results or going through a fortnight of quarantine, since July 2.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][/vc_section]
