International Travel Restrictions
Travelers arriving from the EU or Schengen Area may enter without restrictions. Travelers arriving from all non-EU or Schengen countries must either possess a valid certificate of vaccination or recovery, a negative result from a PCR test taken within 72 hours prior to departure, or a negative antigen test taken in the 24 hours prior to departure. Individuals traveling without an EU Digital COVID Certificate or equivalent must also fill out the travel health control form; to access the form, click here. Nonessential travel for individuals unable to meet these requirements is generally prohibited.
Vaccination certificates for travel from all locations are valid for up to 270 days after the final dose of the regular vaccination schedule; a booster vaccine is required for the certificate to remain valid beyond this period. This applies to travelers over the age of 18 only.

Advice
Follow all official instructions. Abide by national health and safety measures. Reconfirm all travel arrangements. Consider delaying traveling if experiencing symptoms associated with COVID-19, as they may prompt increased scrutiny and delays. Liaise with trusted contacts for further updates and guidance. Ensure contingency plans account for further disruptive measures or extensions of current restrictions.
