Travel Restrictions Entering Germany from Sweden for Vaccinated Travelers

Fully vaccinated travelers are not required to have negative COVID-19 test results before traveling to Germany.

Fully vaccinated travelers must have a vaccination certificate in paper or digital form. Proof of vaccination must be in German, English, French, Italian, or Spanish. Travelers must have received their last vaccine dose required no less than 14 days before the travel date. Vaccines accepted include Pfizer/Comirnaty, Janssen, Moderna, Nu­vax­ovid, and AstraZeneca.
