Sweden’s
Ministry for Foreign Affairs has announced that it is lifting its advice
against travel to several countries outside the EU from 1 June.
Entry
restrictions will no longer apply to Australia, Israel, New Zealand, Rwanda,
Singapore, South Korea and Thailand.
Currently, travel from Sweden to the EU, the EEA and the
Schengen area, and to the United Kingdom is permitted.
However,
the country has decided to extend its advice against non-essential travel to all other
countries around the world until 1 July.
“Travellers
to countries that have been removed from the list still need to take a high
degree of personal responsibility. The pandemic continues to affect travel all
over the world. The Ministry for Foreign Affairs urges everyone planning to
travel abroad to read up on the national entry rules for each country, follow
the local rules when in the country, plan their trip home carefully, and make
sure they have travel insurance,” the government said.
