You can enter Finland from all countries if you have received a full course of an approved COVID-19 vaccine while taking into account the provisions on the entry of foreign nationals into Finland, e.g. visa requirements. You will not be subject to any other obligations under the Communicable Diseases Act.
2. You can travel from EU and Schengen countries to Finland, but you must first check your obligations under the Communicable Diseases Act , for example with regard to COVID-19 testing.
3. If you have not received a full course of an approved COVID-19 vaccine and are arriving from outside the EU or Schengen area, check the restrictions on travel to Finland from the country in question on the Border Guard website. If travel is possible, i.e. you are coming from a country on the EU’s green listLink to an external website from which entry into Finland is allowed, or you have an essential reason to travel, check your obligations under the Communicable Diseases Act (see figure below). In addition, some of the countries on the EU green list are exempted from these obligations
