Overview

On Sept. 23, 2021, the Swedish government announced that people traveling to Sweden who can present a vaccination certificate issued in Albania, Andorra, the Faroe Islands, Israel, Morocco and Panama are exempt from the current entry ban and test requirements. This amendment will go into force on Sept. 27, 2021.
