SWEDEN

(Updated 30MAR21)

Entering Sweden – restrictions and requirements that apply from 31 March 2021 

The Government has decided to extend the general entry ban and the requirement of a negative COVID-19 test result for entry into Sweden until 31 May 2021. 

The Government has also decided to lift the separate entry restrictions that apply for travel from Denmark and Norway as of 31 March. After 31 March, a negative COVID-19 test result is a requirement for entry into Sweden – with certain exceptions – under the same regulations that apply to other European Economic Area (EEA) States. 

The Government’s decision means that the general entry ban will continue to apply to foreign citizens who cannot present a negative COVID-19 result on arrival in Sweden. The test requirement applies to foreign citizens aged 18 and older; the exemptions that apply are outlined below. People travelling to Sweden from ‘third countries’ – in other words, countries outside the EU/EEA – must, in addition to presenting a negative COVID-19 result, belong to a category exempted from the entry ban. 

As currently applies, a negative COVID-19 test result is only valid if taken within the previous 48 hours. For those who commute for work or study, the requirement has been relaxed: they will be able to present test results that are no older than 7 days. 

The Government has also decided that as of 31 March entry to Sweden from the UK will be subject to the same rules that apply to other third countries, in other words, to countries outside the EU/EEA. In practice, this means that an entry ban and the requirement of a negative COVID-19 test result for people arriving from the UK will remain in effect; the exemptions that apply are outlined below. 

Swedish citizens always have the right to enter Sweden and are not subject to entry bans or required to present a negative COVID-19 test result. However, everyone who has been abroad must follow the recommendations of the Public Health Agency on testing and quarantine after arrival: these recommendations are intended to curb the spread of the virus. 

The rules are explained in brief below. More information will be available on the Government website. 

The following will apply for entry from all EEA States1 and Andorra, Monaco, San Marino, Switzerland and the Vatican City as of 31 March. 

Travellers from these countries may enter Sweden if they can present a negative COVID-19 result from a test conducted within 48 hours of arrival or if they are exempt from the test requirement. 

The following categories are exempt from the test requirement: 
- people under the age of 18 
- people who live in Sweden 
- people with imperative family reasons 
- personnel transporting goods and other staff in the transport sector 
- people who carry out, are involved in or are being transported by medical transport services

- personnel within the scope of international police, customs or emergency services cooperation 
- officials at Danish authorities or other Danish public bodies travelling on business between Bornholm and another part of Denmark via Sweden 
- people in need of international protection or who have other humanitarian grounds. 

People who regularly cross the border to work or study in Sweden or another state must be able to present a negative COVID-19 result from a test taken within 7 days prior to arrival in Sweden. 
There is no special exemption from either the entry ban or the test requirement for people who can show that they have been vaccinated against COVID-19 or have antibodies to the COVID-19 virus. 

The Government refers to the Public Health Agency of Sweden for information concerning the criteria for negative test results.

1."Is it SAS that checks the Covid-19 test results and/or travel certificate and afterwards decides if I can get on the plane?"

Answer: This is difficult to answer directly as it depends on the destination you are flying to. Some countries require the airline to check this prior to departure, in other countries it is checked only upon arrival to the destination and some require both on departure and on arrival.

2. "I don't have a test because my final destination says I don't need it. However, I’m not flying directly, can I still go through my transit?"

Answer: Most often you can go through transit and a confirmed Covid-19 test is not needed when in transit. However, there are exceptions such as when travelling through China, Denmark and some other countries. Please make sure to check what requirements are needed for your trip before travelling.

3. "I've been denied boarding, what happens now?"

Answer: The passenger is always responsible for finding out what requirements apply to documents (passport, visa, etc.). You are also responsible for adhering to what entry requirements apply to vaccinations and, which also includes the requirements that apply due to Covid-19. If a customer is denied boarding due to the absence of entry documents, the customer may rebook according to the ticketing rules.
