Entry & health: what you need to know before you travel

Official advice for every country on your trip – right in your travel plan.

In short

Where can I find entry requirements and health advice for my destination?

In the wemake.holiday trip planner, the “Entry & health” section shows the travel and safety advice of the German Foreign Office (Auswärtiges Amt) for every country on your trip: latest news, safety, entry and customs, and health – clearly flagged if there is a travel warning or partial travel warning. There’s also a precautions list with insurance, passport validity, vaccination advice and crisis preparedness.

The problem

You have to gather entry rules, vaccination recommendations and the security situation separately for each country – and for several on a round trip. Much of it changes at short notice.

  • A separate page for every country
  • Important advice hidden in long texts
  • Passport validity and insurance forgotten

The solution

The advice comes straight from the German Foreign Office’s open API into your travel plan – for all countries on your route.

  • Latest news, safety, entry and customs, health – expandable
  • Flagged for travel warnings, partial travel warnings or special situations
  • All countries on the route, not just the main destination
  • Precautions list: travel health insurance, trip cancellation insurance, passport valid for 6 months, vaccination advice, the “Elefand” crisis preparedness list
  • Reference date for passport validity based on the end of your trip
