What are the current travel restrictions for Sweden?

Entry restrictions

Sweden has restricted the entry of most foreign travelers arriving from outside of the wider European Area until at least December 22. Swedish nationals and residents may still return to Sweden from countries outside the EEA. On July 2, the Swedish Government announced that citizens and long-term residents of EEA countries, Andorra, Monaco, San Marino, Switzerland, or Vatican City, people with Swedish residence permits, and their family members may now enter Sweden, regardless of the purpose of travel. From December 21 to January 21, Sweden imposed a temporary entry ban that will be in effect for foreigners who arrived from the United Kingdom and Denmark with exception for certain travelers. Visa holders of Sweden and people with a visa over 3 months for another EEA country may also enter, as may people with an 'essential purpose' such as healthcare workers, health researchers and students attending a Swedish institution. More information may be found here. In addition to this, residents of Australia, Canada, Georgia, Japan, New Zealand, Rwanda, South Korea, Thailand, Tunisia, and Uruguay may also enter Sweden. Diplomats, border workers, healthcare professionals, transport personnel, relief workers, and travelers visiting for urgent family reasons may also enter Sweden.

Travelers arriving from the UK who are exempt from the entry ban must present a medical certificate with a negative COVID-19 test taken within 72 hours prior to arrival. The Swedish Border Police have now confirmed they are accepting tests from an authorized provider including those on this list. Holders of Swedish passports do not have to do this.

The Swedish government recommends that all passengers who arrived from the UK since December 12 should self-isolate for 7 days and take a PCR test in the day of arrival and after 5 days.
