Finland and Lithuania have become the latest European countries to relax their Covid-19 entry rules for UK travellers as the threat from the Omicron variant recedes.

Finland has scrapped pre-entry testing for fully vaccinated visitors from outside the EU and Schengen travel area from 15 February, meaning UK travellers will no longer have to show a negative Covid test result on arrival in Finland.

But arriving passengers will still have to provide proof of vaccination or recovery from the virus. The Finnish government added that some Covid restrictions at its border would remain until 13 March.

The Foreign Office said in its updated advice to Finland: “You must present proof that you have been fully vaccinated to enter Finland, otherwise you will need to demonstrate an essential or compassionate reason to enter.
