Finland Drops Covid Travel Restrictions

Finland has withdrawn all Covid-19 travel restrictions.

Beginning today, travellers from the UK or other non-EU nations who are going to Finland won't need to provide proof of vaccination or a negative Covid test (Friday).

The most recent Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) travel advice states that all visitors to Finland must meet the same standards, regardless of whether they have had their Covid-19 vaccine.

“You don’t need to provide proof of your vaccination status for entry to Finland,” their FCDO said.

“Entry requirements for Finland are the same for all travellers, regardless of Covid-19 vaccination status.”

However, the FCDO added: “No travel is risk-free during Covid. Countries may further restrict travel or bring in new rules at short notice, for example due to a new Covid-19 variant.

“Check with your travel company or airline for any transport changes which may delay your journey home.

“If you test positive for Covid-19 in Finland, you will receive instructions from the Finnish authorities and will be asked to self-isolate. You may also need to seek treatment there.”
