Those who live in Iceland, or who have a network here, must go for COVID-19 testing within 48 hours of arriving in Iceland. They do not have to present a negative COVID-19 test at the border. Testing can be obtained at the border in Keflavík or at the health care centres all over Iceland. There is no need to quarantine while waiting for the results of this test, but travellers are asked to attend to personal infection control, limit contact with vulnerable individuals and be alert to the symptoms of COVID-19.

* Rules for travellers without a network in Iceland: vaccinated passengers and those with prior infection of COVID-19 need to present a negative COVID-19 test Both a PCR test and a rapid antigen test are accepted. NB. self-tests are not accepted. The test must have been taken within 72 hours before departure on the first leg of the journey. A 100 000 ISK fine is applied for not presenting a negative COVID-19 test at the border. If less than 14 days have passed from completion of vaccination then the traveller needs to undergo testing at the border and follow the rules on home quarantine until a negative result is obtained.

* Travellers (born 2004 and earlier) who are citizens or residents of Iceland or have ties to Iceland are required to undergo a COVID-19 test within 2 days from arrival, despite having a negative PCR or antigen test, which was taken before departure. Testing can be obtained at Keflavik airport upon arrival. Otherwise testing is at Sudurlandsbraut 34 in Reykjavik or outside the capital area at certain primary health care centres. Note if there is a high demand for testing at the airport, passengers will be directed to Reykjavik/the primary health care service.

* A traveller that has recently recovered from COVID-19 is exempt from presenting a negative COVID-19 test at the border. Instead, they need to present a positive PCR-test, taken more than 14 days prior, but less than 180 days. These people do not need to have a second COVID-19 test when arriving in Iceland, even if they have a network in the country.
