Vaccinated individuals can return to Germany with a work holiday visa from December 15

Canberra. Holidays are back in Australia from December 15, the news agency reported.Reuters“After a two-week postponement of the opening due to the Omigron variant, the country now allows vaccinated professionals, students and work passengers to re-enter without isolation. It is possible to enter via the states of New South Wales and Victoria, but must remain via Sydney and Melbourne airports.

So the government says exemptions are no longer needed in these states, but that regions can still impose restrictions at the state level. “The return of professionals and students to Australia is an important milestone in our return journey,” said Prime Minister Scott Morrison in late November. At the time, the country was expecting 200,000 entries from the originally planned launch from December 1 to January.

These conditions apply when entering Australia

It said vaccinated citizens of Japan and South Korea are allowed to enter without segregation, as do those with humanitarian visas. Vaccinated people who want to work during their travels, also known as backpackers, are welcome again. For working holiday makers, a valid work holiday visa, proof of vaccination and a negative PCR test are required, which should not exceed three days. More information is available from Australians Ministry of Health.

However, it has not yet been decided when Australia will reopen to public tourism. “I think Australians are interested in taking it one step at a time,” Morrison said. They would have made many sacrifices in everyday life with locks and restraints, “so that we could open safely and securely.”

After a flat start, the vaccination campaign in Australia picked up speed. Nearly 90 percent of the population over the age of 16 is fully vaccinated.
