CHINA - News on flight regulations and test dating
19/02/2021 10:48

Dear ladies and gentlemen,

 

The Chinese Embassy in Vienna informs that Austrian citizens and persons residing in Austria are allowed to travel to the People's Republic of China with direct flights with immediate effect.

 

Open-jaw flights / transit flights / stopovers are no longer permitted.

 

In addition, there is a change regarding the dating/time of the PCR nucleic acid and IgM antibody tests. These must be carried out 48 hours before departure, but from now on the calendar day rather than the exact time of testing will apply.

 

All details on the changes can be found on the website of the Chinese Embassy in Austria:  Notice on Airline Boarding Requirements for Passengers flying from Austria to China (chinaembassy.at)
