Greetings. I am affiliated with a Carmelite Monastery in Carmel,Ca. There are two nuns in Helsinki who must leave Finland due to health reasons. One is a US citizen and the other a citizen of Kenya. My question has two parts: 1.What should the nuns be preparing for a potential departure in September. What documents, vaccines etc. 2. If the nuns can't both travel to the US given immigration status, a US citizen will need to travel to Helsinki to assist and accompany the one nun who is a US citizen given her health status. Appreciate your guidance. Thanks. Paul

Hi Paul, September is a very long time away in 'covid time' as it pertains to travel rules. I would wait until about 10-14 days before departure to research any rules, as they change almost daily.

Will US citizens be permitted entry into Finland in January of 2022? Is a negative covid test required upon entry or is the "vaccine passport" the vaccination card acceptable for entry?

January 2022 is much to far ahead to make any predictions, as things change very fast in this situation. Americans should be granted access before then

So my boyfriend will be living in Finland for school. There are still flights coming from Los Angeles to Finland and it’s so hard to tell how I can enter. On their boarder patrol site it seems to say unmarried couples can enter but there is no way to be sure. Any info on how I would go? Just buy my flight and show up? Ahhh so confusing lol

Hi Miranda - Having flights go in and out does not mean entry is possible. Take my country (Canada) for example. Flights come in daily from all over the USA, but American's are not permitted to enter at this time.
For Finland, you will not be permitted entry. If you show up at the airport they will likely not even let you board.
To apply for unmarried couples exceptions, you will have to contact the consulate and get direction from them.
Good luck!

As a Canadian do you know if Finland is allowing Canadian tourists as of Sept 19? There seems to be some conflicting information out there.

Hi! I actually know exactly what you are talking about! We had a reader send in a tip that Canadians were now allowed, but I am seeing conflicting information online. In the 2 government sources I checked, it looks like Canada is NOT permitted at this time. However, you can always check with border police if you have doubts
