Two European states are on Estonia's restriction-free arrivals 'Green' list as of Monday, December 27, namely the Vatican and Romania. All the remaining European states are on the 'Red' list, where non-vaccinated people must quarantine and test on arrival.

Since the risk levels were last updated, travel restrictions have been moved to the government's kriis.ee website. The foreign ministry's site, which previously carried the information, redirects readers to the new page here, with frequently asked questions here.

Travel restrictions entering into effect on Mondays are based on a state's 14-day Covid rate per 100,000 inhabitants as reported the previous Friday.

Estonia's own 14-day Covid rate is currently 618.97.

The new restrictions entering into effect on Monday, December 27, are as follows.
