here’s everything you need to now
As coronavirus cases start to wane, many of us are hoping to get away this year.
A growing list of countries have recently eased their covid travel restrictions, while airlines such as Jet2, TUI and Ryanair have already said bookings for Spain and the Canary Islands have increased over the past few months. And it’s not just foreign nations that are making travel easier.

Passenger Locator Forms – which must be completed by all UK arrivals – are expected to be scrapped ahead of the Easter break. The expected move is set to boost the UK’s tourism industry.

Some regulations do remain in place in most destinations, however these are easing. Greece was the most recent European country to relax its entry requirements ahead of the Easter holidays.
The popular hotspot has announced arrivals will no longer need to fill out the pre-travel form to enter the country. The change comes into force from today (March 15) – and means fully vaccinated Brits will only need to show proof of their vaccination.
To be considered fully vaccinated, holidaymakers will need to have completed their full course at least 14 days before travel. If your vaccination was completed over nine months ago, you’ll also need a booster jab to qualify.

Holidaymakers who are unvaccinated or partially vaccinated will still need to show either proof of recovery, or a negative covid test result. This can be either a PCR test taken within 72 hours before arrival, or an antigen test taken within 24 hours.
Here, we take a look at the rules for other destinations that are popular with British tourists.
Spain
Before travelling to Spain, everyone travelling by air or sea must fill in and sign an online Health Control Form. If you are traveling from the UK to Spain for tourism purposes, you must show valid proof of being fully vaccinated (with both doses of a two-dose vaccine or one dose of a one-dose vaccine) at least 14 days prior to arrival in Spain.
If you are not fully vaccinated but have recovered from COVID-19 in the last six months, you can also use a medical certificate or recovery record to prove your COVID-19 status on entry to Spain.
Requirements are country specific.
You may get a minimum fine of €3000 if you do not comply with the requirements.
France
Travellers from the UK no longer need to present a negative PCR or antigen test result before travel. Fully vaccinated travellers aged 12 and over must continue to provide:
Proof of vaccination. Further details on what counts as being fully vaccinated can be found below
A sworn statement (déclaration sur l’honneur) self-certifying you’re not suffering from COVID-19 symptoms and haven’t been in contact with confirmed cases in the 14 days prior to travel.
France will accept the UK’s proof of COVID-19 recovery and vaccination record at the border. Your final vaccine dose must have been administered at least seven days prior to travel for Oxford/AstraZeneca, Pfizer/BioNTech, Moderna or 28 days after the second dose of Johnson & Johnson.
Travellers from the UK to France who are not fully vaccinated no longer need to self-isolate on arrival. Travellers who are not fully vaccinated need to provide:
A completed international travel certificate to prove the reason for essential travel (not required for children under 18 who are accompanied by vaccinated adults). This can be found on the French government’s website (in English). In exceptional circumstances, the French Consulate in London may be able to assist with travel for a compelling reason not listed as an ‘essential reason for travel’
A negative PCR test result taken within 72 hours or an antigen test result taken within 48 hours pre-departure if aged 12 years and over.
A sworn statement (déclaration sur l’honneur) self-certifying you’re not suffering from COVID-19 symptoms and haven’t been in contact with confirmed cases in the 14 days prior to travel.
