Vaccinated Visitors outside of Schengen Welcomed 🎉
Iceland Welcomes vaccinated visitors outside of Schengen! We're going to say it again: ICELAND WELCOMES VACCINATED VISITORS OUTSIDE OF SCHENGEN!
The news was presented after a meeting in the Icelandic government just this morning and asked when this would take effect: Minister of Justice said: THIS WEEK! And, that's not all, this also applies for those with certificates of antibodies for COVID-19.
It's no secret this is something the Pink Iceland team has anxiously been waiting for and there were more than a few happy tears amongst us when the news came! Our newlyweds to be and travellers come largely from the UK and USA and we have missed them all so much.
Currently we are all smiling ear to ear!
Those who are vaccinated and live outside the Schengen area may come to the country, provided they have a valid certificate to that effect. This was said by Áslaug Arna Sigurbjörnsdóttir, Minister of Justice, after the government meeting this morning.
Áslaug was asked if the government was there to respond to pressure from the tourism industry. She said that she and the Minister of Health, agreed that they would take the same certificates valid, regardless of whether it is from Europe or abroad."
The vaccines need to be already approved by the European Medicines Agency, those who currently have approval are:
1. Comirnaty; Pfizer BioNTech
2. COVID-19 Vaccine Moderna
3. COVID-19 Vaccine AstraZeneca
4. COVID-19 Vaccine Janssen
There is no time like the present to sign up, line up or do whatever you can to get in line for the vaccine cause you don't know how excited we are to see all of you!
With a whole lot of hope for 2021
The Pink Iceland team
