Entry restrictions reinstated for 3 countries, eased for 2

The government on Thursday decided to reinstate inbound travel restrictions on Australia, Brunei and Ukraine following the increasing trend of coronavirus infections in these countries, said Ministry of Interior in a press release.

At the same time, the government lifted entry restrictions for Saudi Arabia and Singapore.

The decision will enter into force on 6 September.

However, people may still enter Finland from all countries upon presenting an approved certificate of a full vaccine course.

External border traffic refers to traffic between Finland and non-Schengen third countries.

If a person arriving from a country subject to the restrictions is not fully vaccinated, the accepted reasons for entry are return travel to Finland, return travel to other EU or Schengen countries, transit on regular, scheduled flights at an airport or other essential travel.

No other changes will be introduced to the restrictions on entry.
