Iceland has announced that from the next week onwards, it will open its borders for tourists coming from outside Europe as it seeks to attract more tourists to help revive its pandemic-hit economy.
However, this applies to only those who have been vaccinated for COVID-19. Also, visitors must provide proof of vaccination with a vaccine that has been certified by the European Medicines Agency, which excludes Chinese and Russian vaccines.
Until now, the country's international borders were closed for passengers outside EU, EFTA, EEA and the Schengen area.
Under the rules, people from EU, EFTA, EEA and Schengen area are not required to quarantine and are also exempted from testing, provided that they show a certification of having been or a certificate confirming antibodies.
