The new additions were added to the list on Wednesday (30 June) and do not require travellers to quarantine on their return to the UK. However, all of the destinations, with the exception of Malta, have been placed on the government’s ‘watch list’, meaning they are at risk of being moved back onto the amber list at short notice. If you are planning a trip abroad, here are 12 new green list countries and islands you can travel to and their entry requirements for tourists.
5. Bermuda
All travellers need to apply for a Bermuda Covid-19 Travel Authorisation one to three days before departure. Those who are not vaccinated against Covid-19 must quarantine at a designated Quarantine Hotel at their own expense for 14 days. Immunised travellers with a valid negative pre-arrival test must quarantine until they receive a negative result from their arrival PCR Covid test. Immunised travellers without a valid result must quarantine until they receive a negative day four Covid-19 test. Photo: Shutterstock
6. British Virgin Islands
Fully vaccinated with the final dose administered at least 14 days before travel will not be subject to a PCR test on arrival or any quarantine unless. Partially vaccinated will require a BVI Gateway Traveller Authorisation Certificate proof of a negative PCR test taken three to five days before arrival, proof of vaccination status, a four day quarantine period and a negative PCR test on day four. The same rules apply for unvaccinated travellers, except they must complete a seven day quarantine period and take a negative PCR test on day seven. Photo: Shutterstock
7. Cayman Islands
Airports are currently closed to all international passenger flights. Only people who have been pre-authorised may enter and will be subject to a mandatory quarantine for a period of 14 days if they are unvaccinated against Covid-19, or 10 days if they are fully vaccinated, in a government facility or pre-approved home isolation.

8. Dominica
Travellers must complete an online questionnaire 24 hours before arrival, and have a valid negative PCR test taken up to 72 hours before with the result submitted with a questionnaire to be approved by the Dominican Ministry of Health. A pinprick Rapid Diagnostic Test (RDT) will be taken on arrival. If this is negative, you must self-isolate in a government certified facility for five days before taking a PCR test. If the PCR test is positive a mandatory 14 day quarantine will be necessary, in a government facility for which fees will be charged. Once a negative test is received the next seven days can be spent at an uncertified premises, but travellers should remain inside and monitor their temperature. Managed tourist activities are possible with strict supervision from certified operators. Photo: Shutterstock
