Iceland’s Justice Minister just announced that the country will open its borders to travellers from outside Europe who have been vaccinated against COVID-19. According to current regulations, Iceland’s borders are closed to all travellers outside the Schengen Area, EEA, EFTA, and EU, regardless of their vaccination status. Justice Minister Áslaug Arna Sigurbjörnsdóttir stated the change would take effect this week.
As of May 2021, other travelers who have not been vaccinated and arriving from the Schengen Area, EEA, EFTA, and EU whose country of origin is defined as low-risk will not be required to quarantine upon arrival to Iceland. They will, however, still be required to present a negative PCR test certificate prior to departure as well as undergo testing at the border.
