Swedish Foreign Ministry to repeal global advice against all travel from October 1

The Swedish Ministry of Foreign Affairs is planning to repeal its travel council against all travel abroad on October 1.

The council was introduced in March 2020 due to the corona pandemic.

“The travel council for all countries in the world was an extraordinary measure in a difficult and unpredictable time. The ambition has always been to repeal the council as soon as possible, and we believe that we have reached the right time now,” Foreign Minister Ann Linde stated in a press release.

In Norway, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs currently advises against all travel that is not strictly necessary to countries outside the EU/EEA, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland, as well as a handful of so-called third countries. This travel advice also expires on October 1 but can be extended.
