Iceland has said it is ready to welcome UK visitors after its “success” against coronavirus – but will charge £90 per passenger to screen arrivals.

Iceland is reopening to visitors

The island will offer the test on arrival to all UK visitors as an alternative to a mandatory 14-day quarantine. It said up to 2,000 tests could be conducted in one day – roughly equivalent to about a dozen arriving aircraft. Children born in 2005 or later will be exempt.

Those who test negative will not be required to quarantine. Tests will be free until 1 July, from which date the fee will apply.

Passengers are required to fill out a pre-registration form before departure, which requires personal details and contact information, flight information, travel dates and address during their stay.
