Ban on entry to Sweden extended

27 Jan 2022

The Government has today (January 27th, 2022) decided to extend the temporary ban on entry to Sweden until 28 February 2022 for travelers from EU/EEA countries, and until 31 March 2022 for travelers from countries outside the EU/EEA.

The Government’s decision to extend the ban on entry to Sweden is primarily due to the continued uncertainty concerning transmission of COVID-19.

Entry from countries outside the EU/EEA

The Government has decided that the ban on entry to Sweden from countries outside the EU/EEA will be extended until 31 March 2022.

Foreign citizens travelling to Sweden from a country outside the EU/EEA may only enter the country if they are covered by one of the exemptions from the entry ban and can also present a negative result from a COVID-19 test taken within 72 hours of arrival to Sweden, or are exempt from the test requirement. Exemptions from the entry ban and test requirement apply for several categories of travellers, including for those with a vaccination certificate issued in certain countries.
