Finland to open borders to double-jabbed Scots travellers

Finland is set to reopen its borders to travellers from the UK.

The country will relax restrictions, allowing visitors who are fully vaccinated to enter.

What's more, there will be no further additional quarantine or testing requirements.

Those hoping to go to Finland must have had their complete vaccination course at least 14 days prior to arrival.

And they are required to present their NHS app, Covid Pass or a vaccination status letter once they get there.

As it stands, Finland is on the UK government’s amber list, meaning double jabbed travellers can return from Finland without the need to quarantine.

Since July 19, double-jabbed Britons are allowed to avoid self-isolation when returning from an amber list 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 per cent 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.”

The United Nations has named Finland as the world's happiest country for the fourth year in a row.

It is famous for its amazing destinations and outdoor adventures.
