“Third-country travelers arriving in Finland are no longer required to have vaccination or COVID-19 test certificates, nor to be tested for coronavirus at border crossings.

The health authorities have concluded that there are no longer any medical grounds for restrictions at the external borders,” the Interior Ministry said.

Passengers arriving from outside the EU and the Schengen area must carry the usual travel documents: a passport and, if necessary, a visa.

“It is expected that the lifting of restrictions will increase traffic from third countries.

For example, there may be increased traffic on the eastern border.

The volume of traffic is influenced, among other things, by the desire of Russians to travel and the number of valid visas, ”the message says.
