Overview
At 4:00 am, October 11, 2021, the UK government will reduce its red country/territory list by 47 countries and territories. Click here to view the most up-to-date red country/territory list.
Eligible travelers vaccinated in over 37 new countries and territories will face less strict entry restrictions if they have not visited a red list country/territory ten days before England’s arrival. These travelers will be required to:
- Book and pay for a day two COVID-19 test – to be taken after arrival in England
- Complete a passenger locator form – to be completed in the 48 hours before arrival in England
- Take a COVID-19 test on or before day two – once the traveler has entered England
- Book this test before travel
What’s Changed?
By removing 47 countries and territories from the red country/territory list, travelers will have an easier time traveling abroad, and returning fully vaccinated passengers from these locations will no longer be required to enter hotel quarantine.
