The borders of Estonia are open from June 1st to passengers arriving from European countries. Estonia will admit people with no symptoms arriving from the European Union, the members of the Schengen area or the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

The compulsory self-isolation for people arriving in Estonia depends on whether the relative coronavirus infection rate in their country of departure where they have spent at least 14 days before departure is above 15. This means that no more than 15 people per 100 000 inhabitants are 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.

Information about countries and requirements is available on the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The list of persons without symptoms to whom the right to enter Estonia was extended in the past, can enter the country and are not subject to the restriction on the freedom of movement.

With regard to people who do not fall under the exemptions referred to in the order of the Government of the Republic, it is still possible to authorise a border crossing on the basis of an application for permission, which must be sent to ppa@politsei.ee.
