A temporary ban on travel to Sweden due to covid-19
In response to the European Council and Commission's recommendation, the Government has decided to temporarily stop unnecessary trips to Sweden from countries outside Europe. This is to mitigate the effects of the coronavirus outbreak and to reduce the spread of covid-19.
The decision is applicable from March 19 and initially for up to 30 days.
Not all trips to Sweden are suspended. Swedish citizens and other persons residing in Sweden will be able to return to their homes. The entry ban also does not apply to people who have particularly important reasons for travelling to Sweden.
