Introduction

The United Kingdom has announced that, as of May 17th, 2021, travelers will be able to visit 12 countries without the need to quarantine upon their return. This list of “green list” countries includes Portugal, Gibraltar, Israel, Singapore, Brunei, Iceland, Faroe Islands, New Zealand, Australia, and the Falkland Islands.

Travelers will still be required to take a Covid-19 test before and after their trip, as well as fill out a travel declaration form. For more information on the UK’s travel rules for green list countries, please visit the government’s website.

What are the UK travel rules for green list countries?

As of May 17th, 2021, the UK has updated its travel list to include a number of “green list” countries. This means that people who have been to one of these countries in the last 10 days can travel to England without having to self-isolate.

However, there are a few rules that travellers need to be aware of before they go. First and foremost, all travellers will need to show proof of a negative COVID-19 test before they are allowed to board their flight or ferry. They will also need to take another test when they arrive in England, and self-isolate until they receive a negative result.

Finally, travellers will need to fill out a passenger locator form before they travel, which will help the authorities track any cases of COVID-19 that may arise from travel.
