Icelandair flights to Amsterdam

Travel restrictions are fast-changing. Travelers should look into the current rules that apply to them for the destination they wish to visit (for example, requirements for a COVID test or possible quarantine, what documentation is required), and also for rules that apply to their return trip (for example, the need to quarantine after returning home).

New requirement: negative COVID-19 test results but Iceland considered a safe country

From January 23, all passengers traveling to the Netherlands from high-risk areas (NOT Iceland) must be able to produce a negative result of a rapid COVID-19 test performed shortly before their departure. The test must not have been performed more than 4 hours prior to boarding the aircraft or ship. This requirement is in addition to the existing mandatory negative test result for a PCR test performed no more than 72 hours before arrival in the Netherlands.

There are exceptions to this rule, for instance if you depart from a country considered low risk, which includes Iceland. 

If you are flying from a country where the risk of contracting COVID-19 is low you do not need to show a negative test result when you travel to the Netherlands. This exception is valid if passengers are flying directly to the Netherlands from Iceland. If you are transferring to another flight at Schiphol airport and do not leave the airport, you will not require a test.

Read more about these new requirements on the official government site.

Health declaration

For traveling to the Netherlands, upon arrival, as well as upon departure, all passengers over the age of 13 must fill out a compulsory health certificate, which has to be completed before boarding. We recommend to download the following Health Screening Form and print it out.
