The Irish Authorities continue to advise against all non-essential travel overseas with the exception of those countries on the designated “Green List”.

The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade regularly updates its travel advice for territories across the globe, including for Germany which can be found here. 

We advise all Irish citizens in Germany to register their details with us so that we can contact you or your family in case of emergency.  You can register online at the following link www.dfa.ie/travel/citizens-registration/

Please remember to carry official ID with you at all times and to carry your Anmeldung if resident in Germany.

All States in Germany have made it compulsory to wear masks in public areas where distances of 1.5 metres cannot be maintained such as in shops, public transport or certain work places.
