Iceland Holidays is ready to welcome new and seasoned visitors back to Iceland as it remains on the Green list! Travelling to Iceland in 2021 couldn’t be easier, but we understand that many of you are rightly concerned or puzzled as to how to travel to Green list Iceland and what you need to do. In this handy blog, we will outline exactly what you need to do to have an unforgettable 2021 holiday to Iceland.

Passengers vaccinated against COVID-19 or recovered from it

Can you visit Iceland? Yes, it couldn't be easier for you! You are welcome to visit Iceland, you just need to show either a certificate of full vaccination against COVID, or a certificate of previous COVID infection.

Do you need to provide a PCR test, be tested on arrival, or enter quarantine? Nope! From July 1, 2021, there is no longer a requirement for arrival testing for passengers vaccinated against COVID-19 or recovered from it.

Passengers not vaccinated against COVID-19 and not previously infected

Can you visit Iceland? Yes, you can! As long as you hold a passport (or valid residency) from EEA/EFTA countries, you are welcome to visit Iceland. A growing list of non-EEA/EFTA nationalities may enter, including travellers from the US and Canada.

Do you need a PCR test? Yes, but its super easy. Simply require a negative PCR test before boarding an aircraft to Iceland, taken within 72 hours of departure.

Is there arrival testing and quarantine? Yes. Arriving passengers must undergo double screening and 5-6 days quarantine between tests. 

Children Passengers

Children born after 2003 ( under 18's) do not need to undergo testing and are not required to quaratine. Hurrah!

Children born in or before 2004 need to undergo testing at the border but again this is super easy. You will also have to quarantine for 5 days and have a second test, unless they have a certificate of full vaccination. Children who have not reached the age of 18 are permitted to travel to Iceland with their parents, given the parents are exempt from travel restrictions to Iceland.
