Finland has reopened to fully vaccinated Brits for holidays, with no quarantine or Covid test requirements.
The country is now welcoming back UK holidaymakers who have been fully vaccinated against Covid, meaning a completing a vaccination course at least 14 days before they're due to arrive.
The country's tourism board, Visit Finland, has said that Brits will be able to use their NHS Covid Pass letter as proof, both through the NHS app or through a paper letter on arrival. (You can find out more about obtaining this proof on the NHS website here ).
Currently Finland remains on the UK's amber list. That means that double jabbed Brits can visit Finland with no quarantine, and then swerve self-isolation when back in the UK, although they will still need to take PCR tests on days two and eight of being back home.
This means that Finland is now a quarantine-free holiday option for Brits who are double jabbed. Other amber list destinations which currently don't require Brits to quarantine include hotspots like Spain and Greece.
It's worth noting that under the current rules, Brits who are not fully vaccinated must self-isolate when returning from an amber country.
Kristiina Hietasaari, Director of Visit Finland said: “ We look forward to welcoming UK travellers back to explore our 188,000 lakes, the forest which covers more than 70% of our land and of course cities such as our capital Helsinki, renowned for its artistic and cultural offerings as well as its vibrant and innovative culinary scene.
"Across the country our tourism industry looks forward to warmly welcoming visitors from the UK for a safe travel experience."
