Additionally, the Director of US Customs in coordination with the German Federal Customs Directorate has authorized an automatic extension of expired/expiring German Forms 0217 through Dec. 31. If your Pink Card expired prior to Mar. 1, you need to visit your local US Customs Field Office for the issuance of a status verification.

Ramstein Aquatics Center Update

The filtration system on Ramstein’s lap pool failed in May and is currently being contracted for repair. Officials anticipate opening the lap pool in August with the recreation pool opening in the fall. Once repairs are completed the opening date will be advertised along with COVID-19 guidelines.

The Ramstein Aquatic Center will be issuing full refunds for swim lessons, lane reservations, and lifeguarding courses canceled due to the COVID-19 closure. Monthly swim passes expiring after the closure date will be refunded at prorated rate. Annual swim passes will be extended for the length of time the facility was closed due to COVID-19. Those with annual passes PCS-ing before their extended expiration date can email a refund request to the Ramstein Aquatic Center org box: 86FSS.FSCS.AquaticCenter@us.af.mil.
