EU adopts equivalence for COVID-19 certificates issued by Việt Nam
EU adopts equivalence for COVID-19 certificates issued by Việt Nam.
The European Commission (EC) has recognized the digital COVID-19 certificates of Việt Nam, Indonesia, and Seychelles as equivalent to the EU COVID Certificates issued by authorities in EU countries.
These three countries will therefore be connected to the EU system and the EU will accept their COVID-19 certificates under the same conditions as its own Digital COVID Certificate. This means that passengers from the three countries will be permitted to enter the bloc under the same rules as those who hold EU Digital COVID-19 certificates.
At the same time, all three countries have decided to accept the EU Digital COVID-19 certificates.
With the accession of Việt Nam, Indonesia, and Seychelles, the number of countries and territories connected to the EU system has increased to 67, said European Commissioner for Justice Didier Reynders.
