How To Enter Iceland If Youve Recovered From Covid

Vaccinated travelers from the US need to present their vaccine card, a negative COVID test, and a pre-arrival form. Vaccinated travelers with no ties to Iceland must, as before, present a certificate, showing negative results of a COVID-19 test, taken no more than 72 hours prior, when they enter the country. Here you will find information about traveling to Iceland during Covid, travel restrictions and border policy, and Covid vaccination certificate. All travellers should check the FCDO travel advice and carefully consider their personal situation and risks of COVID-19 before travel to this country. This is particularly important in those at higher risk from COVID-19 who may wish to seek medical advice before travel.

Quarantine Regulations For Entries From Areas Of Variant Of Concern

Activities are ramping up at Keflavík International Airport, the port of arrival for almost all travellers entering Iceland. “We see for example today, which is one of the largest days since COVID started, over 2,000 travellers are arriving in the country,” Arngrímur Guðmundsson told RÚV reporters yesterday. Follow all requirements of transportation operators and any requirements, including mask wearing, proof of vaccination, or testing, at your destination. Requirements in other countries may differ from U.S. requirements. If you do not follow your destination’s requirements, you may be denied entry and required to return to the United States.

Iceland Travel Restrictions Continue To Change

Like much of the world, Embassy Reykjavik’s Consular Section is operating at reduced capacity due to Covid-19 precautions and restrictions. We anticipate that demand for Consular services during the winter holiday period will far exceed available resources. As such, the Consular Section cannot guarantee a particular appointment date. Visa holders currently in the United States should understand that, if they decide to depart the U.S., there is no guarantee they will be able to return in a timely manner. Our available appointments are limited to the beginning of December and then restart January 4th.
