Internal border control

 

The government decided to continue the current internal border control from 12 to 25 July as a transitional period. It allows for the health safety measures at the border to be well prepared and introduced.  After this transitional period, the internal border control and entry restrictions will be lifted. 

 

The internal border control will be lifted for Lithuania, Finland, Slovenia, and Switzerland according to the Covid-19 risk assessment. 

 

Work-related travel or travel for other essential reasons are also permitted. Additionally, internal border travel will also be allowed  if 

 

  • You are fully vaccinated for Covid-19 at least two weeks after the last dose of the vaccine. 

  • You are fully recovered from Covid-19 less than six months before entry

 

Travelers with only a certificate of a negative Covid-19 test result or partially vaccinated are not permitted to enter Finland if they are from the countries which are still on the restriction list.
