Swedish the government decided on changes to the travel bans to Sweden. The changes mean that all travellers must be able to show a negative test result for ongoing covid-19 infection upon arrival in Sweden, regardless of which country they travel from. The reasons for the decision are the increasing spread of infection and a request from the Swedish Public Health Agency. From 28th of December, a negative test will be required for most foreign citizens who do not live in Sweden. Vaccine certificates or certificates of recovery can no longer be used instead of a negative test. Special rules apply to frontier workers.

The testing for ongoing covid-19 infection must have been performed within 48 hours before arrival in Sweden.

The test requirement applies:

• foreign nationals traveling from EU / EEA countries, including the Nordic countries, or from other countries, with certain exceptions
• regardless of whether you have been vaccinated or have recovered
• adults and children over 12 years

For information on what requirements a certificate or negative test result must meet, the Government refers to the Swedish Public Health Agency.

In connection with the introduction of a requirement for a negative covid-19 test for all travellers, it will no longer be required that the EU's digital covid certificate, also called a covid certificate, is presented upon entry into Sweden.

In order to make it easier for commuters and border students within the EU / EEA, in addition to covid-19 tests that have been performed within a week before arrival in Sweden, they will also be able to present vaccination certificates. Exemptions from the test requirement are also introduced for everyone traveling via Sweden between Bornholm and Denmark.
