Rules for unvaccinated relaxed ahead of summer

Unvaccinated people from outside the EU, including British citizens are able to enter the country more easily after the government relaxed COVID restrictions on Saturday.

The health requirements for people visiting from the UK and elsewhere outside the EU are now going to be aligned with those from inside the Schengen area.

Visitors will need to show either their COVID vaccination certificates, a negative PCR test, or a certificate showing they had recovered from coronavirus within the last 180 days.

Children under the age of 12 are exempt from having to show any certificates.
