From outside of Europe, people can come to Estonia from Australia, Israel, New Zealand, Rwanda, Singapore, South Korea and Thailand. A 10-day self-isolation is mandatory for people arriving from countries with an infection rate above 16 people per 100,000 inhabitants in the past 14 days, ie people arriving from South Korea and Thailand.
The ten-day self-isolation requirement doesn’t apply to people who have either suffered from COVID-19 and less than six months have passed since they’ve been declared cured; or who have undergone a COVID-19 vaccination programme and no more than six months have passed since its completion.
