Travelling to the UK?
- Those who have been in or through any of the red list countries listed here in the last 10 days prior to arrival in the UK, will be refused entry. Only British and Irish Nationals or third-country nationals with residence rights in the UK will be able to enter the UK and must self-isolate for 10 days on arrival along with their household in a hotel from 15th February. The Test to Release scheme cannot be used.
- All travellers must have proof of a negative coronavirus (COVID-19) test to travel to England. They must take a test even if they are a UK citizen or have already had the COVID-19 vaccine. They must take the test in the 3 days before the service on which they will arrive in England departs. Travellers will be asked to prove that they’ve fulfilled this requirement. See here for more info.
- Before arriving in the UK, you will need to fill in a passenger locator form.
- All arrivers into the UK have to self isolate for 10 days (the travel corridor scheme is currently suspended) but the test to release scheme is still in place, meaning that travellers can take a private test on the 5th full day of self-isolation to see if they can stop self-isolating early.
- From 15th February onwards, all arrivers into the UK need to take a COVID test on day two and day eight of being in the UK. You can find out more information here. Tests are expected to cost around £100 each.
