From April 1st, all international travellers won’t be subject to any entry requirements to visit Sweden.
The Swedish government released a statement on Friday saying that the current ban on travellers from outside the EU/EEA (European Economic Area) will not be extended. As the ban expires on March 31, 2022, this will subsequently lift all restrictions for travellers coming to Sweden from outside the EU.
Proof Of Vaccination Or Test No Longer Required As Of April 1
Once the new travel rules go into effect, it also means that starting April 1st, all proof of vaccination and Covid tests for entry will no longer be required to travel to Sweden, regardless of what country the traveller is coming from.
With the restrictions that currently stand, only travellers from the list of approved third countries (non EU/EEA) can enter Sweden with a valid Covid vaccination certificate. This will no longer be the case once the ban expires at the end of the month.
Sweden Another European Nation To Drop Covid Travel Restrictions
The news will make Sweden the 22nd nation to drop all Covid-related travel requirements. It will end two years of restrictions on international travelers to Sweden due to the pandemic, which was put in place back in March 2020.
Swedish Minister for Justice and Home Affairs, Morgan Johansson, made this statement following this week’s news:
“We have already lifted the entry ban within the EU. Now the Government has decided not to extend the entry ban from third countries. This will make it much easier for everyone who has been prevented from coming to Sweden in recent years due to the pandemic.”
Find out more about the countries you can easily travel to.
Below is a list of countries in 2022 with no testing, no quarantines, no countries banned, and no vaccine requirements.
Mexico
Mexico is open to all international tourists with no testing or quarantines.
Mexico has truly been the king of tourism during the pandemic, as they have never closed their borders, have never enacted a testing protocol, and have kept almost everything inside the country open for tourism. Beaches, gyms, hotels, restaurants, and in some parts even nightclubs and bars, are open.
Here is everything you need to know about Mexico reopening its borders for tourism.
El Salvador
New entry as of November 15, 2021
El Salvador has now joined Mexico in being the second country in the WORLD in late 2021 to have no entry requirements or vaccine passports.
El Salvador originally reopened in September 2020 but was requiring all arrivals to bring proof of a negative PCR test. Then, on April 21, 2021, they also added proof of being fully vaccinated as a way to avoid testing. However, now as of November 15, 2021, all requirements have been dropped.
Norway
New entry as of February 12, 2022
Norway becomes the first European country to fully remove ALL covid-19 entry requirements, including all forms, testing and quarantine rules, proof of vaccination, country ban lists, and all other border restrictions. Visiting Norway as of February 12, 2022, is like visiting in pre-pandemic times.
In combination with the removal of all entry requirements, Norway has also removed all internal covid restrictions like mask-wearing, isolation periods, social distancing, and all use of vaccine passports.
Slovenia
New entry as of February 21, 2022
Slovenia is the 4th country in the world to remove all entry requirements, allowing foreign travelers to enter like pre-pandemic times.
Slovenia’s RVT program (recovered/vaccinated/tested) has been discontinued at the border as well as internally. Now, visitors will not have to show proof of a negative test, being recently recovered or even vaccinated to enter, nor to access things like museums, restaurants, resorts, or other activities.
Visitors should be aware that while Slovenia has removed almost all covid-related restrictions, masks are still mandatory in indoor public settings.
Iceland
New entry as of Feb 25, 2022
Iceland is the 5th country to remove all entry requirements, including internal rules, starting February 25.
Now, anyone can enter Iceland, regardless of vaccination status. They have also fully abolished all tests, quarantines, and online health forms to enter the country. Once inside, mask mandates have been removed, as have limits on gatherings and even early closing hours for bars and restaurants.
Bahrain
New entry as of Feb 26, 2022
Bahrain has removed all their covid-related entry requirements, along with most internal restrictions, as the Middle Eastern nation returns to normal.
Proof of pre-flight testing, on arrival testing, and all vaccination requests are now discontinued, including internal vaccine passports. Now all travelers, regardless of vaccination status, can enter Bahrain like pre-pandemic times.
Jordan
New entry as of March 1, 2022
The kingdom of Jordan has removed PCR testing, proof of vaccination, and all other covid-related entry requirements. Now travelers can enter without testing, quarantines, or vaccine passports. The only small requirement left is the obligation to fill out an online health form, which strangely doesn’t ask any covid-related questions.
Ireland
New entry as of March 7, 2022
Ireland was one of the first nations to discontinue most internal covid-related rules in January 2022, which now harmonize with their new entry requirement removal. From March 7, 2022, there will be zero travel restrictions for any traveler entering Ireland.
Travelers from any country can enter Ireland without testing, proof of vaccination, quarantines, health forms, or any other covid-related entry requirement. All have been removed.
Hungary
New entry as of March 7, 2022
Hungary removes all its border restrictions, continuing the trend throughout Europe. As of March 7, 2022, travelers will no longer need tests or proof of vaccination to enter Hungary – they can simply enter like pre-pandemic times. Most internal restrictions are also removed, like vaccine passports, mask mandates, etc., but a few rules still exist in health care settings.
Romania
New entry as of March 9, 2022
Romania just removed all their covid-related entry requirements at the border, as well as internal restrictions, on March 9, 2022. Tourists will no longer need to show a negative test or proof of vaccination to enter. All that’s left is a simple form, but it doesn’t ask any covid-related questions.
Once inside Romania, the mask mandates, all vaccine passports, and things like capacity limits have been discontinued.
Saudi Arabia
New entry as of March 9, 2022
Saudi Arabia has removed their entry requirements, qualifying them for this list, but a few small requirements still remain that travelers should be aware of. Gone are the important ones including proof of vaccination, quarantines, and testing. Still in place are online health forms, proof of travel health insurance, and a contact tracing app.
Montenegro
New entry as of March 10, 2022
Montenegro has become the latest country worldwide to drop all COVID-19 travel restrictions.
Travelers will no longer need to show proof of vaccination or present a negative COVID-19 test upon arrival.
Internally the nation will no longer require vaccine passports or testing to enter cinemas, museums, restaurants, bars, galleries, hotels, theaters, and gyms. However, there is still an indoor mask mandate for now.
Curaçao
New entry as of March 10, 2022
Curaçao has removed all its testing, quarantine, and vaccination entry requirements as of March 10, 2022. Travel to the Caribbean island will look much like it did in pre-pandemic times.
Curaçao did keep a few simple entry requirements like an online digital form and proof of travel health insurance, but nothing that is a barrier to entry.
United Kingdom
New entry as of March 14, 2022
Officially starting at 4:00 am on March 18th, England will join the list of nations that have removed all entry requirements, and they certainly removed all of them. Not even forms will remain.
England dropped most of its entry requirements and internal restrictions earlier in 2022, but they still had a few requirements in place that did not qualify them for this list, chiefly, 2 tests needed for unvaccinated passengers.
Now, all requirements have been removed completely.
Entry is exactly how it was pre-pandemic.
Maldives
New entry as of March 15, 2022
The Maldives have relaxed all their pandemic-related entry requirements, ended the state of emergency period, and removed mask mandates. Travelers no longer need to show tests, proof of vaccination, or even have travel health insurance to enter.
Aruba
New entry as of March 16, 2022
The small island nation of Aruba joins neighboring Curaçao, and removes Covid entry requirements as of March 19, 2022. The only rules that remain are the digital passenger card, now being used more as a customs/immigration form, and the requirement to have travel insurance.
Mongolia
New entry as of March 17, 2022
Mongolia showed up on this list on March 1, but was quickly removed after confusion within the nation about entry rules. Two weeks later, it seems as if the internal conflict over the entry rules has come to a close, with requirements officially removed as of March 15, 2022.

Moldova made the announcement on its Ministry of Interior page that they’ve removed entry requirements as of March 16, 2022.

Costa Rica
New Entry as of March 24, 2022
Costa Rica will once again be included on this list, as they’ve decided to drop their internal Vaccine Passport system starting April 1, 2022. While Costa Rica has had very liberal entry requirements throughout the pandemic, recent internal use of proof of vaccine to enter restaurants and hotels kept it from being recommended as a restriction-free nation. Also on April 1st, they will drop the requirement for unvaccinated tourists to purchase travel health insurance and the online health form.
Sweden
New entry as of March 26, 2022
Sweden is dropping all their remaining covid-related entry requirements on April 1, 2022.

Grenada
New entry as of March 31, 2022
Starting April 4, 2022, Covid proof of entry will no longer apply to foreign visitors visiting the tri-island nation of Grenada, as it fully reopens to tourism under pre-pandemic regulations.

Slovakia is the latest EU nation to remove entry requirements. As of April 6, 2022, all travelers—regardless of vaccination status—no longer need to quarantine or complete the eHranica passenger locator form. This makes entry just as it was prior to the pandemic.
Czech Republic
New entry as of April 9, 2022
Joining neighbors Slovakia and Poland, Czechia has removed all entry requirements as of April 9th. All proof of testing, vaccination and even the passenger locator form is now discontinued. As for masks, officials in Czechia relaxed the country’s mask mandates from March 14, 2022
Switzerland & Cuba Notes
Switzerland almost made this list mid-Feb 2022. The federal government of home affairs along with the federal health authority removed all entry requirements, however, the border police are keeping them in full effect for now.
Cuba was a hopeful entry as of April 6, 2022, however, it cannot be added to this list for keeping one very important restriction in place, the random on-arrival testing. Although they are removing all tests and proof of vaccination, they will keep in a random PCR test on arrival, based on the flow of incoming tourists and the current epidemiological situation. IF a tourist tests positive, they will be hospitalized for 10-14 days, making this too big of a barrier.
