Status 27. April 2021: Please note that arriving passengers to Iceland must undergo a double testing procedure along with quarantine for 5 days. In addition to that, all travelers must pre-register before arriving in Iceland and present a negative PCR test certificate which must have been taken within 72 hours before departure on the first leg of the journey. Passengers with an approved vaccination certificate or a certificate of previous infection do not need a PCR test.
The double border-screening procedure requires passengers arriving in Iceland to undergo two PCR-tests:
EVERYBODY must undergo testing on arrival to Iceland. This includes children, those who have been vaccinated and those who have already had COVID-19.
Everyone should quarantine, but passengers who present a vaccination certificate or a certificate of previous infection only need to be quarantined until a negative result is obtained from the border testing.
Testing and quarantine: Those who do not present a certificate at the border must quarantine for five days and go for another test at the end of quarantine.
Passengers coming from high-risk areas are required to stay in a quarantine hotel during quarantine.
