Entry to Germany Possible for all Foreign Trade Fair Participants

Green light for foreign exhibitors and visitors at ISPO Munich from 31 January to 3 February 2021: As the German government has decided, exhibitors and visitors at a trade fair can in principle enter Germany, even if they come from a country that does not belong to the EU/Schengen area or the group of countries on the German positive list.

Since trade fair participants are considered business travellers with good cause, entry is permitted.

Participants from non-EU/Schengen countries or countries that are not on the positive list must provide proof of their participation in the trade fair when applying for a visa or entering Germany:

• Exhibitors with a confirmation of their participation from the trade fair
• Visitors to the trade fair with presentation of their admission ticket to the trade fair and an appointment with at least one trade fair exhibitor

When entering Bavaria from a risk area, a 14-day quarantine obligation currently applies. From October onwards, early termination of the quarantine is to be possible at the earliest from the fifth day after entry by means of a COVID-19 test.

Further information on entry regulations can be found on the homepage of the German Foreign Office and the Association of the German Trade Fair Industry AUMA.
