From July 4th, people from Morocco, Algeria, Australia, Georgia, Japan, Canada, Montenegro, New Zealand, Rwanda, Serbia, South Korea, Thailand, Tunisia and Uruguay will be allowed to travel freely to Sweden.
This means that people from these countries will be allowed to travel to Sweden for any purpose, including tourism.
Sweden does not have any quarantine rules in place for foreign visitors and no proof of a negative coronavirus test is required. However, everyone is expected to follow coronavirus health and safety guidelines, such as social distancing and avoiding public transport, especially at busy times.
Travellers from other non-EU/EEA countries will remain banned from entry until August 31st, but the Swedish government on Thursday announced changes to the categories of people exempt from the entry ban.
The decision follows the European Council's list of countries from where member states are recommended to allow entry into the EU from July 1st, as the union gradually begins to lift coronavirus border restrictions.
