New Finnish State Rules for Unexplored Kosovars

Starting on Monday, August 16th, travellers from Kosovo and Northern Macedonia will not be able to enter Finland's territory unless they are entirely vaccinated against Covid-19. Only the vaccines accepted by Finnish authorities will be accepted as evidence of travel immunity.

The decision was made Thursday, after the government of Finland decided to change restrictive measures for travellers coming from countries outside the EU and the Schengen area, based on the level of infection, writes Schengenvisinfo, broadcast the Express newspaper.

The August 5th 2021 decision has been amended so that entry restrictions are returned to Kosovo residents who come to Finland from Kosovo and residents of northern Macedonia who arrive in Finland from Northern Macedonia”, the Finland Ministry of Interior press release said.

Under the new decision, Kosovo and Northern Macedonia travellers, who are not vaccinated against Covid-19, can enter Finland only if:

- They're returning to Finland.

- Are returning to other EU states or Schengen area

- They're passing trans

-For other purposes of entry, located on a list of fundamental goals by Finnish authorities

Last week, Finland banned the entry of independent persons coming from Serbia, Azerbaijan, Japan, South Korea, Moldova and Singapore.
