Visitors can enter Finland again without a negative coronavirus test

 

From today, all visitors to Finland will no longer have to provide a negative coronavirus test from the past 48 hours. However, you will still need to show proof of vaccination or recovery from the virus in the past 6 months.

These border restrictions, which were introduced back on December 28 to slow down the potential spread of the omicron variant, will apply to those entering from both Schengen countries as well as non-Schengen EU countries.

This means that, among other things, tourists and visitors from Estonia can return to Finland without having to provide a negative coronavirus test certificate.

However, all those visiting Finland from abroad are still required to provide proof of completing a full series of vaccinations, recovery from the virus in the past 6 months, or a certificate for a negative covid-19 test within the past 72 hours.

If a passenger does not have any of these three certificates, he or she will be directed to a corona test at the point of entry. The requirement applies to those born in 2006 or earlier.

Tourists should also note that although you can enter Finland without a negative test result, other countries and airlines may have their own test requirements, so please check these before departure.
