Finland is set to end COVID-19 restrictions for entry at its external borders on July 1. Non-EU and non-Schengen travellers from third countries will no longer have to hold vaccination or test certificates, and tests will not be carried out at border crossing points.
Health authorities say there are no longer health grounds for restrictions at external borders, according to Finland’s Ministry of the Interior.
Travellers arriving from third countries only require normal travel documents, such as a passport and, if necessary, a visa.
The lifting of restrictions is expected to increase traffic from third countries, particularly at Finland’s eastern border.
Internal border control ended at the beginning of the year, a release from the Ministry notes.
