TRAVEL INSURANCE
The Department of Foreign Affairs strongly recommends that comprehensive travel insurance, including medical insurance, is obtained before travelling to Germany. Travellers should note that the Irish government does not provide funds for emergency medical repatriation or for repatriation of remains.
You should also obtain a European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) free of charge which entitles you to emergency medical treatment. This card is NOT a substitute for travel insurance. See www.ehic.ie. The EHIC replaces the Form E111, which is no longer valid.
ENTRY REQUIREMENTS
For entry requirements for Germany, please contact the nearest German Embassy or Consulate.
It is advisable to take a number of photocopies of your passport with you. During your stay you should carry a photocopy of your passport at all times.
SAFETY & SECURITY
You should be aware of the global risk of indiscriminate terrorist attacks, which could be against civilian targets, including places frequented by foreigners.
CRIME
You should take normal, sensible precautions to avoid mugging, bag‑snatching and pickpocketing.
LOCAL LAWS & CUSTOMS
You should carry your valid passport with you at all times. German police have the right to ask to see identification.
HEALTH
Avian Influenza (Bird Flu)
Avian Influenza has been identified in wild birds and poultry in Germany. No human infections or deaths have been reported.
The risk to humans from Avian Influenza is believed to be very low. As a precaution you should avoid visiting live animal markets, poultry farms and other places where you may come into close contact with domestic, caged or wild birds; and ensure poultry and egg dishes are thoroughly cooked.
So no visiting Bird farms..... Jeez :P
At the end of it all, it is handy to have contacts for the Embassy and the Consulate.
