Nicely, I posted yesterday that Iceland had reopened its doorways to People. This morning I arrived at Keflavik Airport in Iceland to see for myself.
Now, there had been methods for People to get into Iceland, however all of them concerned bringing a adverse PCR Covid check with you (from inside 72 hours of departure), taking a COVID check on the airport, going into quarantine for five days, and taking one other COVID check earlier than you had been allowed to discover the nation.
That has all modified when you’re vaccinated (and have your unique CDC vaccination card), have a constructive antibody check, or a constructive COVID check that’s older than 14 days (you learn that accurately, the belief being that when you examined constructive greater than 14 days in the past you need to be within the clear now). Double-check the documentation right here, however I confirmed up at Keflavik with nothing however my CDC vaccination card and passport and all the things was effective.
Right here was my expertise at present:
- I pre-registered my journey on the Icelandic authorities’s web site earlier than my flight departed. It’s essential to do that. If you’ve accomplished the shape, you’ll be emailed a barcode. Take a screenshot of this barcode in your cell machine
- When checking in on the airport for my Icelandair flight from Boston, they requested for journey documentation to enter the nation. I confirmed my unique CDC vaccination kind, and that was ample for them
- After we landed, I made my strategy to a financial institution of stands the place they registered folks for his or her COVID exams. Inform the employees there you’ve gotten a vaccine and they’re going to ship you to the best, on to passport management stanchions, and to not the left the place the exams are administered
- On the passport stanchion, have your barcode prepared in your cell machine (Keflavik airport has free wifi when you forgot to take a screenshot and have to entry your e mail), they may scan it
- Hand over your passport and CDC card
- The customs agent jotted some notes down on a bit of paper…and THAT WAS IT. No COVID check, nothing
I’m now in Iceland. I’m vaccinated. And I’m free to roam.
Time to roam.
