From 30.12.21, passengers arriving from 8 southern African countries along with Egypt and Turkey will be required to take a PCR test on arrival in Estonia. This new regulation applies to both vaccinated and unvaccinated travellers. <\/span><\/p>\n The 8 southern African countries are Botswana, Eswatini, Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa and Zimbabwe. Unlike several other European countries, no travel ban has been introduced in Estonia.<\/p>\n If an individual tests negative and is vaccinated, they will not need to enter self-isolation. However, unvaccinated arrivals from the previously mentioned countries will need to enter a 10-day self-isolation. This can be shortened with a second negative PCR test after 6 days. Those that refuse to be tested will be subject to a mandatory 10-day isolation. These PCR tests will cost 53 euros for foreign nationals entering Estonia.<\/p>\n From Friday, November 26, free voluntary testing has been available to all Estonian citizens and residents arriving back to Estonia regardless of whether they are arriving from a low or high-risk country. It is hoped that the introduction of free PCR tests will help authorities to better understand and slow the spread of the new Omicron variant.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" From 30.12.21, passengers arriving from 8 southern African countries along with Egypt and Turkey will be required to take … Read more<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":99472,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[50],"tags":[13075,13392,13398,13458,13459,13460,13461,13462],"class_list":["post-99466","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-estonia","tag-unvaccinated","tag-travel-to-estonia","tag-coronavirus","tag-pcr-test","tag-coronavirus-restrictions","tag-travel-restrictions","tag-vaccinated","tag-omicron-travel-estonia"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/99466","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/10"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=99466"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/99466\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":99478,"href":"https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/99466\/revisions\/99478"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/99472"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=99466"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=99466"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=99466"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
