The Ministry of Foreign Affairs advises against any non-essential international travel. More information about traveling to Estonia can be found here.
Those arriving in Estonia from the United Kingdom should have a negative COVID-19 test on arrival taken no longer than 72 hours before arrival. New arrivals from the UK are also subject to a 10-day self-isolation obligation.
The rule also applies if the traveler has traveled through the United Kingdom on the way to Estonia.
Self-isolation can be shortened if the first test was negative and second negative test has been recorded seven days later.
From February 1, the self-isolation requirement does not apply to travelers from the UK who:
(1) Have had a diagnosed case of COVID-19 within the last six months;
(2) Have been vaccinated within the last six months.
