HOW TO TRAVEL TO AUSTRIA / KLAGENFURT: The following information was written on Wednesday, March 10th, according to the Covid-19 restrictions valid at this time. If the travel restrictions change, the information will be updated as soon as possible. The following information is provided without guarantee of legal accuracy. Important links for information on traveling to Austria: https://www.sozialministerium.at/en/Coronavirus/Coronavirus---Information-available-for-download.html https://www.austria.info/en/service-and-facts/coronavirus-information/entry-regulations Austria is currently in a state of lockdown and all kinds of travel & tourism are restricted. However, there are exceptions for people who travel for business, which all athletes taking part in elite sport events are (Travel Allowance required from national Ministry of Sports). For business travellers these documents are necessary to enter Austria:

• Filled out Pre-Travel-Clearance Form: https://entry.ptc.gv.at/en.html This document is available in English or German. Every person entering the country needs to fill out this form. Business traveling count as the exemption according to §4 (3) – So the last check box needs to be ticked on this form.

• Negative Sars-Cov-2 Test (Antigen or PCR Test) not older than 72 or 48 hours (depending on your country of origin) at the time of entry. The certificate of this negative test needs to be written in German or English language.

• Confirmation that the journey is for business purpose (National Federations can receive such confirmation from the local Ministry of Sports or other offices in charge in the respective country).

In addition to the travel allowance from your local government, the organizer will provide each National Federation with a registration confirmation / letter of invitation for their Teams. This will clarify that you want to enter Austria for going to Klagenfurt and taking part at the competition and should be seen as an additional document to show at the border, but it does not replace the confirmation that you are traveling for business. Please also have a look at the general Covid-Restrictions in Austria: Restaurants are currently closed but are likely to re-open before the competition takes place. All public indoor facilities require wearing an FFP2-mask. A minimum distance of 2 meters is required in all places. All current restrictions can be found here: https://www.sozialministerium.at/Informationen-zum-Coronavirus/Coronavirus---Aktuelle-Ma%C3%9Fnahmen.html You can get in touch with the IFSC Europe or Mrs. Julia Pinggera from Austria Climbing (j.pinggera@austriaclimbing.com) about travel-issues, but please understand that a lot of questions cannot be answered by the organizing federation as the offices in charge are your local Ministry of Sports, Ministry of Health or others. These and other offices can best inform you about travel restrictions / exemptions for National Team Members and other issues regarding your specific situation. COVID-19 TESTING IN KLAGENFURT: All Team Members will have a mandatory Sars-Cov-2 Antigen-Test on site on Saturday, April 10th where you receive a confirmation of a negative result. This confirmation can be used for your travel back home on Monday. If you still want to get a Covid19-Test in Klagenfurt elsewhere, please contact Julia Pinggera (j.pinggera@austriaclimbing.com) to receive further information.
