Thailand and China are third countries that are still authorized to enter Finnish territory but are required to present proof of vaccination, according to recent reports.

 

Third countries whose residents are still authorized to enter the territory are as follows: Algeria, Australia, Canada, Georgia, Japan, Morocco, New Zealand, Rwanda, South Korea, Thailand, Tunisia, Uruguay, as well as China (subject to reciprocity at EU level).

 

The Finnish Ministry of the Interior has announced that entry restrictions on travellers from third countries to Finland will be extended until the end of this month, on June 30.

I do.  En route to UK I am going via Helsinki with Finnair in July.  As I am in transit hopefully this won't impact on my journey?

Apparently you thought it was enough important to make a comment. ????

what is a "third country", is it any country outside the EU and the Schengen area?

perhaps you are right. But slightly more politely: "what does it matter?"

Speaking about Thais, they (and anyone else in the country) are required to present proof of vaccination already when boarding a plane in Thailand. So what's the difference when the Finnair check-in counter will ask for the same?

 

I already noticed that Scandasia produces daily articles many of which fall in the same category of your comment. They must have a special arrangement with AN.

People who are travelling to Finland, obviously.
