Sweden Travel Advice

Although travel requirements might seem confusing at the moment, for the vast majority of travellers they are actually relatively straightforward and it is just a question of completing each of the steps involved.

However, please do take the time to read and understand the entry requirements pages on the UK Government and Swedish Government websites before you travel.

We've summarised the requirements for travelling to and from Sweden as we understand them as of 18 March 2022. They assume you are travelling from the UK, are fully vaccinated and have not visited any other countries 14 days prior to travel.

We have tried to be as comprehensive as possible, but we cannot account for all circumstances. Requirements are subject to change at any time and we do not take any responsibility for the information provided. You must make your own enquiries to satisfy yourself that you and your party can meet the entry requirements to match your intended travel arrangements.

If you're travelling with children, please read the advice towards the bottom of the page as requirements differ to adults.

For more general information on travelling this winter, please see our Winter 2021/22 FAQs.

Before you go

Before you travel, you should:

  1. Be able to show a valid NHS COVID Pass.
  2. Ensure that your travel insurance includes comprehensive winter sports and coronavirus cover.

On arrival

To enter Sweden, you will need to be able to show:

  1. A valid QR coded NHS COVID Pass
  2. Other travel documents

Tip: We highly recommend taking both digital copies on your phone and printed copies of all your required travel documentation. If you are travelling with a printed PDF proof of vaccination status, it must date from 1 November to ensure that the certificate can be scanned successfully.

While you're there

Requirements vary by resort. We recommend checking with your resort to see what their requirements are before you travel.

Resorts and hotels continue to ensure your safety and security based on their experience over summer and last winter. With few queues and plenty of space on the slopes, it's easy to keep your distance from other skiers if that's what you prefer.

Travelling with children

When accompanying fully vaccinated adults, children aged under 18 are exempt from the requirement to show proof of vaccination.
