As of 6 February, foreign nationals will have to present a negative test result for ongoing COVID-19 infection upon entry into Sweden, regardless of where they are arriving from. As a general rule, the test must not be more than 48 hours old. Foreign nationals aged 18 and older are subject to the test requirement, with the exception of certain categories of travellers so as to ensure that there are no unintended consequences. The aim is to reduce the risk of spreading the new variants of the COVID-19 virus that have been detected in a number of countries.
The regulations will enter into force on 6 February, i.e. at midnight on Friday, and will apply up to and including 31 March.
Sweden has diplomatic relations with almost all States in the world. It has embassies and consulates in around half of these. Sweden's foreign representation consists of approximately 100 missions abroad and 350 honorary consulates.
