The only country that unvaccinated Britons can return from, without quarantine, is Ireland. If you are not fully vaccinated, you must enter 10 days of self-isolation on return to the UK, with two further tests on days two and eight. Anyone who tests positive must isolate for 10 days – fully vaccinated travellers can cut their isolation short if they take a negative lateral flow test on day six and seven. If you are fully vaccinated you can currently travel to any country or territory without having to enter quarantine for 10 days on your return.Īll vaccinated travellers must take a Day 2 lateral flow test – the need to isolate has been scrapped. The UK Government has removed the 11 countries placed on its travel red list. Here is everything you need to know about international travel, from testing requirements to paperwork and quarantine. Some countries will also impose a quarantine on unvaccinated arrivals.

Hurdles remain for the unvaccinated, who must take a pre-departure test, enter a 10-day quarantine on return, and take two PCR tests.
WHERE ARE YOU NOW THAT I NEED YOU PLUS
Some destinations still require proof of a negative PCR test result from all arrivals, others only request a vaccine certificate for entry, while Austria is among the first to request both, plus a booster. Holidays to most open countries can still go ahead. France has gone one step further, and banned all non-essential travel from the United Kingdom.
WHERE ARE YOU NOW THAT I NEED YOU FULL
A full lockdown has been imposed in the Netherlands, while Germany, Spain, Italy and France have tightened their Covid measures.

The news follows the removal of all 11 countries from the red list last month, meaning no arrivals are currently subject to a 10-day stay in a quarantine hotel.Įlsewhere, some countries in Europe have reintroduced restrictions. Those travelling to the UK no longer have to take a pre-departure test and the required Day 2 PCR test has been downgraded to a rapid lateral flow test – with the need to isolate until they receive a negative result removed. The testing rules for fully vaccinated travellers arriving in the UK have been eased.
