German Bundeswehr says military-aged men can travel freely

A controversial provision in Germany's new Military Service Act (effective January 1, 2026) initially appeared to require men aged 17-45 to notify the Bundeswehr before traveling abroad for over three months, drawing sharp criticism from opposition parties over alleged violations of personal autonomy. Defense Minister Boris Pistorius clarified that no such travel permission is currently required, announcing an administrative regulation to resolve uncertainty and noting the rule was designed for emergency preparedness while military service remains voluntary.
