Key Points
- Lifting COVID-19 entry restrictions for travelers from countries outside of the European Union and European Economic Area beginning April 1, 2022
- Removal of entry requirement to present proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test when entering Sweden beginning April 1, 2022
Overview
On March 25, 2022, the government of Sweden announced that it would lift all entry bans related to COVID-19 beginning April 1, 2022, allowing all travelers, including those from outside of the European Union (EU) and European Economic Area (EEA), to enter the country. As a result, travelers will no longer be required to provide proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test certificate when entering the country.
What are the Changes?
The government of Sweden introduced a ban on travel in March 2020 to prevent the spread of COVID-19. The country has gradually lifted entrance measures for EU and EEA travelers. However, this newest change will allow all travelers to enter the country without additional pandemic-related measures.
