Based on the infection rate of the coronavirus, starting from Monday 8 June, anyone arriving in Estonia from Sweden, United Kingdom, Portugal, Belgium and Ireland must remain in quarantine for two weeks. Starting from next week, mandatory quarantine does not apply to people arriving from Austria, Bulgaria, Spain, the Netherlands, Croatia, Iceland, Italy, Greece, Cyprus, Lithuania, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Latvia, Norway, Poland, Romania, Germany, Slovakia, Slovenia, Finland, Switzerland, Denmark, Czech Republic and Hungary, if they have spent 14 days in these countries shortly before coming to Estonia. From next week, people arriving from France and Malta also do not have to remain in quarantine, as the infection rate in these countries has significantly decreased compared to this week.
On 28 May, the government adopted the decision to reopen Estonia’s borders from 1 June to passengers arriving from European countries. Estonia will admit people with no symptoms arriving from the European Union, the Schengen area or the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
Information on countries and quarantine requirements is available on the Foreign Ministry website at https://vm.ee/en/information-countries-and-quarantine-requirements-passengers
The list is updated every Friday and updates will take force the following Monday. The compulsory quarantine for people arriving in Estonia depends on whether the relative coronavirus infection rate in their country of departure is above 15. This means that 15 or fewer people per 100 000 inhabitants can be infected in the passenger’s country of departure in the past 14 days. Anyone arriving in Estonia from a country with a higher infection rate must self-isolate for two weeks on arrival.
