The Swedish authorities have decided to remove the entry ban for vaccinated travellers from the United States in a reciprocity move, after the latter is set to soon open its borders for the vaccinated arrivals from 33 countries, including here Swedes.
In a press release published on October 28, the Swedish Ministry of Justice announced that travellers holding vaccination certificates issued by US authorities will be exempt from the entry ban, starting from next Friday, November 5.
“Sweden enjoys close and good relations with the US and cooperates on important matters in many areas. Travel between Sweden and the US is therefore of major importance in many different ways,” the press release reads.
It further claims that since the US is planning to permit vaccinated travellers from 26 Schengen Area to enter its territory from November 8, “it is therefore very important that vaccinated travellers from the US can also travel more easily to Sweden.”
The US announced its decision to reopen its borders for travellers from the Schengen Area, Ireland and the United Kingdom on September 20. Recently it has been revealed that the borders will open in the second week of November to all travellers who have been vaccinated with one of the vaccines approved by the World Health Organization (WHO).
Regarding the removal of the entry ban, the government of Sweden has also decided to recognize the vaccination certificates issued by the three isles listed below, and thus permit entry for holders of the same:
- Guernsey
- Isle of Man
- Jersey
“This supplements the Government’s decision of October 7 regarding vaccine certificates issued in the United Kingdom,” the Ministry of Justice explains in its press release.
On October 7, the Swedish government decided to permit entry for all travellers from the UK, including tourists, given that the same have been vaccinated against the Coronavirus. The requirements of quarantine and testing upon arrival has also been removed for the same.
Since September 24, vaccinated travellers from Albania, Andorra, the Faroe Islands, Israel, Morocco, Monaco, and Panama were also permitted to Sweden under the same conditions as EU nationals.
Whereas last Thursday, the Swedish authorities also extended the ban on entry to Sweden from countries outside and the EU/EEA, for which the entry ban has not been removed previously, until January 31, 2022. The entry ban on travellers coming from countries within the EU/EEA has also been extended for those who refuse to test for COVID-19 and haven’t been vaccinated against the virus, nor have they recovered from the disease.
