Before your trip
Get travel-ready from home

Download Swedavia's app, add your flight and get notifications about any changes and see current waiting times in the security control.
When you travel abroad, you need to show your identification, either with a passport or national ID card. If you have a Swedish passport, you can get more information from the police, or alternatively contact your embassy. Here you can read more about passports, how to arrange a temporary passport and about visas.

We are available around the clock every day of the year to assist you, from your arrival at the terminal to the time you are seated on the aircraft. In order for this assistance to work best, you need to make some preparations prior to your journey.

Covid-19
In order to create safe travel as the world gradually opens up, the EU Covid certificate is now available. The recommendation from the EU is that a Covid certificate should be sufficient for travel within the EU and to Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland, but it is important that you as a traveller always stay updated about what is required for the country to will travel to.
You can get your Covid certificate for travel in three different ways.
- If you are vaccinated, you can download your digital vaccination certificate if you have an approved form of Swedish electronic or e-identification
- If you are not vaccinated, you can get a test certificate. In relevant cases, you can get a certificate of recovery.
- You will find all the information and frequently asked questions and answers about Covid certificates in Swedish on the Swedish eHealth Agency’s website, www.covidbevis.se
Some airlines ask passengers to send in their certificates digitally, and then you can check in and get your boarding card before you get to the airport. Other airlines first check your covid certificate or other certificates when you get to the airport. Check with your airline to get information about what rules apply for your flight.
Most countries and airlines require you as a traveler to be able to show that you have recently been tested for covid-19 with a negative result. Some countries also require approved antigen tests. You may miss your flight or be denied entry into a country if you do not have the required certificates. It is important that you find out what applies to you and what you need to prepare before you arrive at the airport. Around the country there are private companies that offer tests and can issue travel certificates.Â
