. France
Travellers who are fully vaccinated do not need an essential reason to travel to France and do not need to self-isolate on arrival, but will need to present a number following documents. Those aged 11 years old or over will need evidence of a negative PCR test result taken within 72 hours of departure, or a negative antigen test result taken within 48 hours of departure. A completed ‘sworn statement’ form self-certifying they are not suffering from Covid symptoms and have not been in contact with confirmed cases in the preceding fortnight must be completed and proof of vaccination status must be shown.

. Italy
Up until 30 July, travellers who have been in the UK in the previous 14 days must present a negative molecular or antigen test taken in the 48 hours preceding entry into Italy. They must also fill in a digital localisation form and must also self-isolate for 5 days, at the end of which they must take a rapid antigenic or molecular swab test for Covid-19 and test negative for release. Everyone arriving in Italy must also call the Covid-19 helpline for the region you are travelling within 48 hours, to inform them of your visit.

. Spain
All UK arrivals to Spain will need to present either a negative Covid-19 test or proof of vaccination on arrival to the country. All passengers entering Spain are required to complete a pre-travel declaration form. Further requirements and entry restrictions may also apply if you have travelled to a ‘risk country’ within 14 days prior to arrival in Spain, you are travelling from mainland Spain to the Balearic or Canary Islands - or you are staying in tourist accommodation in the Canary Islands - or if you are travelling overland from France (Photo: Shutterstock) Photo: Shutterstock
9. Poland
If you are fully vaccinated with a vaccination approved for use in the EU, you are exempt from quarantine on arrival in Poland, but must present evidence of your Covid-19 vaccination at the border and 14 days must have passed since your final dose. If you live in England, Poland will accept the NHS Covid Pass or your NHS letter to demonstrate your Covid-19 vaccination status (Photo: Shutterstock) Photo: Shutterstock
10. Cyprus
The UK entered Cyprus’ Red category on 8 July. Passengers coming from Red Category countries must undergo a PCR test within 72 hours prior to departure and provide proof of a negative result. You must then undergo another PCR test upon arrival at Larnaca or Paphos airports, and remain in self-isolation until the result is issued. Test results should be available within three hours through the online platform and the cost of both tests is borne by the passenger (Photo: Shutterstock) Photo: Shutterstock
