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

From 21 September, Germany will be on Ireland’s ‘Green List’ of countries with a 14-day cumulative incidence of 25 or less per 100,000.  This means that Germany is exempt from the Irish Government’s advice to avoid non-essential travel, and that persons entering Ireland from Germany will not be requested to restrict their movements. 

The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade issues & regularly updates travel advice for a large number of countries across the globe, including for Germany, which can be viewed 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/

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.
