Safety Abroad

If you are a German national, we strongly advise that you register in the Federal Foreign Office’s ELEFAND crisis prevention list before your stay abroad (be it an internship, semester abroad or short stay).

This makes it possible for the German mission in the region to contact you quickly in crisis and other exceptional situations.

In the Federal Foreign Office’s travel and safety information, you will find information on each country: 

• Current information
• Country-specific safety information
• General travel information
• Entry requirements for German nationals
• Special customs regulations
• Special criminal law provisions
• Medical advice

Or simply download the Sicher Reisen app to your smartphone.

On the Federal Foreign Office’s website you will also find an overview of all German missions abroad worldwide.
