There is currently a transport ban to and from the United Kingdom, Botswana, Eswatini, Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa, and Zimbabwe. However, travelers who are exempt from the ban, including German citizens and residents, their spouses, and other household members, must follow increased requirements upon entering Germany from December 23.
Key Changes
