• Safety and Health Abroad
  tudents' safety and well-being are paramount to UNF. Germany is considered one of the safest countries in the world, and enjoys much lower rates of violence and crime that the United States. However, because of the added stresses associated with operating in a foreign culture and language, even the safest foreign locations may carry a risk to your safety and health. For this reason, it is vital that you learn as much about the places you will be traveling to; the more you are familiar with the host country's geography, culture and language, the safer you will be. All participants will be required to attend this program-specific orientation and sessions. In addition to these sessions, the International Program will provide other important safety information.
• COVID-19 Traveling to Germany

  As of Saturday, June 11, 2022, all COVID-19 entry restrictions to Germany will be provisionally lifted. From this date, entries to Germany will again be permitted for all travel purposes (including tourism and visiting trips). However, persons residing in the People's Republic of China still need an important reason to enter Germany (due to reciprocity) - this does not apply to German citizens residing in the People's Republic of China. For entry into Germany, proof of vaccination, proof of convalescence or proof of testing is no longer required.

  For  (currently no states are designated as virus variant areas) further entry restrictions would apply.
