These are the updated rules to enter Kosovo:<\/p>\n<p>Travellers can now cross the border with a vaccination certificate that shows they took two vaccines or a single Johnson dose.<\/p>\n<p>However, if they\u2019ve only gotten one of the other vaccine brands, they will need to provide proof of a negative PCR or rapid test as well.<\/p>\n<p>Those exempt from the above-mentioned rules will be travellers entering Kosovo by air or through any of the other border crossings and who will be leaving the country within a 3-hour time limit. This option will be available to them under the condition that they sign a declaration upon entry, stating that they will be leaving the country in no more than 3 hours.<\/p>\n<p>Starting from February 7, several travel restrictions will be lifted for those wishing to travel to Greece as well. In order to cross over to our neighbours in the south, by plane or land, one will only need to show a vaccination certificate and they will no longer be required to take a test beforehand.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, Italy will be extending its current measures onto March 31, 2022. Albanian citizens who aren\u2019t residents in Italy can cross the border only for essential travel like work, emergencies, health or studies. Upon arrival, they must show proof of a negative test and self-isolate for a period of 10 days while in Italy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From today, all travellers to Kosovo must show proof of a negative COVID test in order to cross the border, instead of what was previously the case, when they had to provide a vaccination certificate that showed proof of all 3 anti-COVID shots.
