Travelling To the UK

On 8 June, the Government put new rules in place for people travelling to the UK. Anyone who comes to the UK must:

• complete a public health passenger locator form 48 hours before travelling 
• Self isolate for 14 days on arrival in the UK

COVID International Travel Restrictions & Quarantine

The UK is currently placing restrictions on travel to and from some countries. This might mean you can only travel to or from those countries for 'essential travel only. It might also mean if you are returning to the UK from these countries, you may need to self isolate.

This list of countries changes all the time, depending on the COVID risk level in that country.
