From an EU Member State or Schengen Associated Country, may I enter this country without being subject to extraordinary restrictions?
NO
Finland adopts its own national classification of risk areas, hence travel restrictions for Finland are not based on the common "EU Traffic Lights" map.
Entry restrictions for Finland are detailed on the website of the Finnish Government.
Entry into Finland is only permitted for essential and justified reasons, such as studies or family-related reasons. Only essential travel for work is permitted from the Schengen area and across external borders (with the exception of those countries from which travel to Finland is permitted without restrictions)
Finnish citizens always have the right to return to Finland. Family members of Finnish citizens may also enter the country regardless of their nationality.
Is a coronavirus test required?
All travellers who do not live in Finland should take a COVID-19 test less than 72 hours before arriving in Finland. A second test can be taken in Finland no earlier than 72 hours after arriving in Finland. Between the tests, self-isolation at the place of accommodation is recommended. The self-isolation period will end if the second test result is negative. If a person's test result is positive, a mandatory quarantine must be completed until full recovery.
Is a quarantine required?
A 14-day period of self-isolation is recommended for travellers arriving in Finland from high-incidence countries.
Travellers can shorten their self-isolation period if they take two COVID-19 tests, and the results are negative. The tests are necessary even if you have received two doses of corona vaccine.
Residents of Finland returning from high-incidence countries may shorten the 14-day period of self-isolation by taking a test at the airport or port as soon as they arrive in Finland, followed by a second test in their home municipality no earlier than 72 hours after the first test. Between the tests, self-isolation at home is recommended.

May I transit this country?
PARTIALLY
Transit on scheduled routes is permitted. As a rule, during the transit journey, a person must remain in the transit area of the airport. In exceptional cases, transit travellers may also be permitted to enter the country. For example, a person may stay at a hotel near the airport if the waiting time for a connecting flight is too long. Destination countries may also require passengers to take a coronavirus test at transit airports. Waiting for the test and the test results is not in itself a ground for allowing entry during transit.
General measures
The Ministry of Social Affairs and Health has updated the action plan for implementing the Government’s strategy to combat COVID-19.
The plan covers the period from January to May 2021, and it can be revised during the spring if the epidemiological situation so requires.
The COVID-19 action plan divides the epidemic into three phases (applied at the regional level): baseline, acceleration phase and community transmission phase.

Use of facemasks
The National Institute for Health and Welfare recommends the use of masks in public transportation and among the public in areas that experienced covid-19 cases within the last 14 days. Masks are also recommended while waiting for a covid-19 test result and for travellers from high risk areas while commuting from the border to their quarantine facility. In regions with increasing covid-19 incidence, masks are also recommended in second and tertiary level education and in public spaces. Regional State Administrative Officials can make additional recommendations.
Physical Distancing
Maintaining a physical distance of 1-2 metres is recommended.

Quarantine
Self-quarantine is recommended for those arriving in Finland from countries subject to internal border control. You can also evaluate the need for a quarantine after travelling abroad with the help of the Traffic light model. Traffic lights further help to evaluate the risk of a coronavirus infection linked with foreign travel.
If you arrive in Finland from a country which is green in the traffic light model, you do not need to self-quarantine. Quarantining is not necessary even if you travel by way of a red or grey country.
If you arrive in Finland from a country that is red or grey in the traffic light model, we recommend a 14-day self-quarantine. Quarantining is recommended even if you transit through a green country on your return trip to Finland. Self-quarantine can be shortened with voluntary testing upon arrival and 72 hours after arrival. Mandatory testing and quarantine can be implemented for travellers arriving from high-risk areas.
According to govenment's resolution, starting from 23.11.2020 travellers to Finland arriving from high-incidence areas (more than 25 new Covid-19 cases per 100,000 persons during the previous 14 days) are required to show evidence of negative PCR test on arrival. Upon arrival, passengers from high-incidence areas have to stay in mandatory quaratine for 14 days. If travellers are tested upon arrival and 3 days after arrival, the mandatory quarantine can be released after receiving a test negative result.

Changes to internal border control
Border control at internal borders will change in Finland on 15 June so that controls at internal borders will be lifted for certain countries and modes of transport. Internal border control will be abolished from 15 June:
- at the land border between Finland and Norway
- for air traffic and regular ferry services between Finland and Norway, Denmark, Iceland, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania
- for pleasure craft, i.e. tourism by private persons on their own boat.
Internal border control will continue for traffic between Finland and other Schengen countries than those mentioned above. This means that internal border control will continue, for example for traffic between Finland and Sweden. The aim is to enable unrestricted travel from Sweden to Finland as quickly as the epidemiological situation allows. The situation is constantly being examined.
Insofar as internal border control continues at internal borders, return traffic to Finland, commuting and other essential traffic will be allowed at internal borders.
The Government still recommends avoiding unnecessary travel to other countries except for Norway, Denmark, Iceland, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania.
Restrictions on border traffic will continue at external borders, in other words at the Russian border and for those arriving from other third countries, until 14 July. Return traffic to Finland, transit traffic at Helsinki Airport and other essential traffic will be allowed at the external borders. Family members of Finnish citizens may enter the country regardless of nationality.
