The government will remove the remaining COVID-19 international travel restrictions for all passengers from 4am Friday 18 March.
From 4am Friday 18 March, all COVID-19 travel restrictions will be lifted, including theĀ passenger locator formĀ (PLF) for arrivals intoĀ UK, as well as all tests for passengers who do not qualify as vaccinated. This change, therefore, removes the need for unvaccinated passengers to take aĀ pre-departure testĀ and aĀ day 2 post arrival test.
While there will be no border health measures on arrival in theĀ UKĀ from 18 March, other countries are at different stages in the pandemic and many still require passengers to comply with requirements.
Travellers should continue to check GOV.UKĀ travel guidance including Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO)Ā travel adviceĀ to keep up to date with other countriesā entry requirements.
Passengers are also encouraged to carefully check booking conditions for flexibility in amending bookings prior to buying tickets. People will continue to be able to access their vaccine and recovery records through theĀ NHSĀ COVID PassĀ to use when travelling overseas.
