Iceland Reopens to All Vaccinated Travelers

Update: Iceland's reopening to vaccinated travelers has been postponed to April 6, 2021

Iceland is Reopening to All Vaccinated Travelers as of March 18, 2021: good news for Americans and other non-Schengen residents who previously were barred from visiting, even if they were vaccinated. Iceland will also allow in non-EU travelers with documented laboratory results that show a prior COVID-19 infection; see the certificate rules.

Fully vaccinated travelers will be exempt from COVID-19 testing and quarantine, per the Icelandic government.

Americans and other travelers who have been vaccinated must meet the following requirements:

The COVID-19 vaccine must be one authorized by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) or WHO including:
Pfizer-BioNTech
Moderna
AstraZeneca
Janssen
The certificate may be in paper or electronic format

First name and last name (as in travel documents).
Date of birth.
Name of disease vaccinated against (COVID-19)
Where and when vaccination(s) was/were performed (date(s)).

Iceland, as with other Nordic countries, is high on natural beauty and low on luxury travel, although we do assist TravelSort clients with bespoke Icelandic itineraries.

The Reykjavik EDITION will be opening in summer 2021, and is expected to offer Marriott STARS benefits to TravelSort clients.
