Since 11 October 2021 fully vaccinated travellers who can present a UK vaccine certificate, as well as accompanying children, are allowed to enter Sweden without further inbound travel restrictions. The UK is thereby exempted from the travel ban currently in place for countries outside the EU/EES. UK vaccine certificates cannot yet be processed by the EU-system, therefore these certificates will be checked separately by the Swedish border police according to the decisions made by the Public Health Agency of Sweden.
See the full press release from the Swedish government here.
More information from the Swedish Police's website is available here.
The Public Health Agency of Sweden recommends that everybody, who haven’t been fully vaccinated for at least two weeks before arriving in Sweden, should take a PCR test. Recommendations for people entering Sweden from abroad - The Public Health Agency of Sweden (folkhalsomyndigheten.se)
