From today, all visitors to Finland will need to show a negative coronavirus test within the past 48 hours, as well as proof of vaccination or recovery from the virus in the past 6 months. These requirements will last until at least 16 January.<\/p>\n
This means a reintroduction of border controls when entering Finland from Schengen countries, similar to those that were in place from 19 March 2020 to 25 July 2021.<\/p>\n
In addition to the new entry requirements, the Finnish government will also make a decision today regarding the possible introduction of new restrictions amidst record case numbers in the country.<\/p>\n
A negative test result is not required to enter Finland for Finnish citizens, foreigners permanently residing in Finland, or persons whose entry is based on a necessary reason such as a compelling family matter or other compelling personal reason.<\/p>\n
