@FastEddie v2.0, great to see you. I don't know why I'm even reading this thread, since I have no trips to Austria planned, but I'm glad I popped in. Better get out of the way of the serious posters now.

Your old account is most definitely still present, so I presume it was your old email address that disappeared. Assuming that you were FastEddie rather than fast eddie or fasteddy72 or fastereddie (and yes, they all exist as accounts on the system), then you can always get back into it on request, unless you prefer the new, shiny, upgraded you that you've brought back to the forum?

Thanks Hammy! Now, back to the matter at hand...
...Teenage skiers born after 2006 with an incomplete vaccination history and no Covid record...anyone dealing with the same dilemma?

Yup - after 1st September 2006 to be exact. By our planned February trip my son will be 15, two doses, not infected (yet...), and therefore under the current rules able to enter Austria without quarantine as long as their parents/guardian are allowed to enter. However, they need to participate in the Holiday Ninja Pass scheme.
| Quote: |
| Teenagers (12 or over and born on or after 1 September 2006) can use the first PCR test of their Holiday Ninja Pass to enter Austria. |
The Holiday Ninja Pass is a downloadable document which you print and then write in the details of each of the tests, the first of which has to be a fit to fly negative PCR test completed less than 48 hours before arriving in Austria.
For anyone between 16 and 18, the only option is to be fully boosted, plus a negative PCR. That is basically impossible for anyone in the UK at this time, based on when 16-17 year olds were offered the first dose of the vaccine.
| Quote: |
| Please be aware that for teenagers born before 1 September 2006 arriving from the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Denmark or Norway (virus variant countries) different rules apply from 25th December. They need to be fully vaccinated (2 jabs) AND have received the 3rd booster jab. They also need a negative PCR test (valid 48 hours) to enter Austria. |
On the other hand, this is a fast-changing situation and the likelihood of the UK remaining on the Virus Variant list is now dwindling as Omicron becomes the dominant variant across Europe. _If_ that happens, the standard rules apply:

On the question of the Pre-Travel Clearance form to enter Austria, and the requirements to be considered OK, this may be useful - completed as a traveller from the UK, by air, and travelling on Monday (because the form has to be submitted within 4 days of your planned arrival):

So 3 vaccine doses and a recovery certificate is not enough, but add a piece of paper signed and stamped by a GP, and you're all good.
Select the negative test result instead of the Annex I certificate and again it is all good.

Not correct. On your second screen shot you forgot to select the "primary" vaccination box, so it looks like only one jab. If you do then you'll see that Primary + Booster + Recovery + Annex is good. So is Primary + Booster + Annex.

Anyone used Project Screen or London Medical Laboratory (guildford) for their tests?
Feedback?
Looking through some of the providers for 'fit to fly PCR' both clinics, pop ups and drive throughs' some appear to be 'self swab' others swab by clinic staff. Is there any restriction from austria to 'Self swab' ?

@RedandWhiteFlachau, it's kinda hard to get a booster without the original two vaxes - hence it is pointless selecting the Primary series because the booster trumps it. It is only relevant if the booster box is not ticked, when other permutations come into play as you've shown.
@robandliza, it's an online form - https://entry.ptc.gv.at/en.html - which I've not yet submitted fully. If it says "further registration is not required", you are exempt from completing it.

| @sparklingspringwater, we did the ExpressTest PCR at Gatwick at 2.30 on 9th December, got the result through about 9 pm on the 10th and we were on the ET at 11.30 am on the 11th. In the event I don’t think we needed to have had PCR to travel to France then (could have been LFT) but it was a bit belt and braces as things kept changing. Very efficient when we arrived and testing etc. |
Just to say thanks for this as I got my results today and the whole thing took 21 hours from test to receiving results, so I'd recommend ExpressTest at Gatwick to others looking to meet the 48h Austria requirement.
This may be a silly question but my fit-to-fly PCR certificate has no QR code - should it have one?

This is my thinking, but I cannot get an answer from people who have been. I know a person went over Christmas and only got asked for a passport in Innsbruck. Then a couple from NI travelled to munich to goto mayrhofen. No checks bar a passport. You just dont know. |
On the way into Munich on 18th December the passport police also checked our proof of vaccination paper work. This was a visual check with no indication that they scanned the QR codes.
On the return leg the person manning the BA desk in Munich asked to see our proof of vaccination and LFT results (QR codes on our phones) Again a visual check no scanning of the codes. When we went through passport control they only checked passports not vaccination status.
At Heathrow only passports checked via automated booths no one asked to see any vaccination or test status.

I think you might be incorrect on your 16and 18 year olds, as, proof of recovery (within 180 days) equates to being boosted - at least that is my understanding. So 16-18 yr olds can achieve 2G+ status by having 2 jabs, proof of recovery, and a neg PCR. If not have covid then it appears there is no route to getting the 2G status (through no fault of their own).

@james75, that was in response to FastEddie's particular case, with "Teenage skiers born after 2006 with an incomplete vaccination history and no Covid record". I wouldn't recommend a Covid party, and proof of recovery is pretty painful even for an adult as I'm finding out now via my GP's very helpful receptionist, whose answer was "No, I don't think they'd sign anything, as we don't tend to do that" - and yet they are happy to provide signatures for passport and driving licence applications, shotgun certificates, and all manner of other things, as the BMA website makes clear:
https://www.bma.org.uk/pay-and-contracts/fees/fees-for-gps/what-to-charge-your-patients-guide-for-gps
which specifically includes "Freedom from infection certificate, eg for school, travel or employment"

Apologies! I only replied as that is the position i find myself in! 15 year old born before Sept 2006 - double jabbed but not boosted. Can get a paper covid cert (for 12-15yrs) but need a recovery cert so hoping GP will sign.

Was wondering the same for mine, which has a load of codes etc... but has no QR code or anything.

ExpressTest confirms that the above individual had a SARS-CoV-2 (COVID19) swab
test by CE IVD PCR assay. The test involved sampling the throat and nose, and was
resulted by Cignpost Diagnostics Limited.
Type: PCR Fit to Fly
Swab result: SARS-CoV-2 RNA Not Detected (negative for infection) |
It also has my booking reference, passport number, name, address etc... along with the time and date of the test so I suppose that's sufficient. My friend's test (different provider) doesn't say 'fit to fly' whereas mine does.

@Jones82, the Australian government advises, or has in the past, to not test again for 90 days. My GP said most people would be good after a month, ie high probability of a negative test.
I don't believe the booster will do anything for test result. I understand that you shed fragments of dead virus for a period after recovery. It is those fragments that produce the false positive.

I’m sure you can get a drink on the slopes, we never had a problem in Obertauern. Including Moserwirt etc. My brother is leaving Stanton today and they had a massive dump of fresh snow so lucky you if you’re heading out soon!
As for the PCR test post infection, if it was me I’d probably get a ‘trial’ test before my actual fit to fly to make sure it comes back negative. Good luck!
