Following the update of the list of affected countries, as of Monday a test and self-isolation is required for arrivals from Ireland, Belgium, and islands of Greece (except for Thassos) who have not had the COVID-19 disease during the past six months and have not been vaccinated against it. These countries and territories have been classified as the red area. As the classification of the Czech Republic and Italy have shifted from green to yellow, travellers from these countries will have to take a COVID-19 test before and after arrival. Those arriving from Norway will only need to take a test before the trip, as the country has been classified as green since Monday.

The rules for foreign arrivals will not change, and the current procedure will continue to apply from Monday:
• mandatory pre-trip test and 10 days in self-isolation are required for those arriving from the red and grey areas;
• two tests are mandatory for arrivals from the countries in the yellow area: before the trip and on the 3rd-5th day after the arrival;
• only one pre-trip test is required for arrivals from countries in the green area.

These requirements do not apply to travellers who have had COVID-19 during a period of 180 days or have been fully vaccinated against the disease and more than 14 days have elapsed since the last mandatory dose. Please refer to the tables below for details on the requirements for arrivals from abroad and the applicable exemptions.

Please remember that the list of the affected countries is updated every Friday and takes effect on Monday. All the countries in the world are classified into four areas that are subject to the relevant requirements.
