European countries have different rules in place for travelers depending on their vaccination status
Scandinavia is a beautiful place to visit, especially at this time of year.
Many make the trip to see the spectacular Northern Lights, and November until March is the peak viewing season due to the long nights.
While life has returned to normal following the relaxation of domestic restrictions in most Scandinavian countries, there is still a lot to consider before making the trip.
So with that said, MyLondon has compiled a list of entry requirements for Norway, Sweden, Finland and Denmark.

Norway
If you’re traveling to Norway there are a few things to consider.
Those who are fully vaccinated will be able to travel to Norway by showing their Covid pass, and will not be required to provide evidence of a negative test, complete an entry registration form, be tested at the border or quarantine after arrival.
Those who are vaccinated must test negative before they enter the country.
Tests can be taken at points of arrival such as airports or 24 hours prior to arrival in the country.
Alternatively, you can show proof that you’ve had Covid in the past year.
And from November 26, all arrivals will be required to register online to allow authorities to follow-up on the Covid outbreak.
Sweden
There is currently a temporary travel ban on entry to Sweden, but travelers who can present a UK vaccine certificate are exempt.
UK travelers who are fully vaccinated do not need to take a Covid test prior to entry or to isolate.
Travelers who are not vaccinated will need to show proof that they are exempt from the current travel ban.
They must also have a valid test taken in the last 48 hours or proof that they’re exempt from the testing requirements.
Finland
The rules on entry to Finland vary depending on vaccination status.
Those who have been fully vaccinated for at least two weeks are permitted but those who aren’t vaccinated things are a bit more difficult.
Unvaccinated people will need to provide evidence of an essential or compassionate reason to enter the country.
They will also be required to take a Covid test no later than 24 hours after arrival.
Denmark
Denmark previously had a requirement that people need to have a ‘worthy purpose’ to enter the country but on October 25 they removed this and reopened for tourists.
Vaccinated travelers can enter without testing or isolation requirements.
However, those without full vaccination may need to take a test upon arrival and they may need to self-isolate for 10 days after arriving.
Those without vaccination arriving from an EU country will only need to test before and immediately after arrival, with no need to self isolate.
