Not All Vaccinated Tourists Can Visit Iceland Standing in line for vaccination at Laugardalshöll, Reykjavík. mbl.is/Eggert Jóhannesson Vala Hafstað Neither certificates of vaccination nor certificates of antibodies for COVID-19 are accepted at Icelandic borders from passengers coming from outside the Schengen Area, Morgunblaðið reports. The reason is the continued border closure of the Schengen Area, which comprises 26 European countries. This means that the ever-growing groups of immunized tourists from the US, UK and China do not have access to Iceland. Those nationalities have in recent years made up the largest groups of tourists in Iceland.
