As of summer 2022, many European countries have lifted COVID-19 entry restrictions, allowing travelers from the EU and Schengen Area to enter without proof of vaccination, recovery, or negative tests. Countries like Germany, Austria, France, and Greece have eliminated such requirements, promoting a return to normalcy in international tourism. However, Spain still mandates checks for travelers arriving from non-EU countries, requiring vaccination or recent negative tests. Overall, the move marks a significant step towards reviving tourism across the continent, easing travel concerns for millions.
