UK opens for travel, removes all restrictions for COVID-19 vaccinated people from Feb 11

January 26: The United Kingdom has removed all COVID-19 testing requirements for fully vaccinated travellers, arriving in the UK from next month.

A travel advisory issued by the Department of Transport and the Department of Health and Social Care announced that beginning from 4 AM on February 11 all testing requirements will be removed for eligible fully vaccinated arrivals, with only a Passenger Locator Form (PLF) now required. Arrivals who are not recognised as fully vaccinated will only need to take a pre-departure test and a PCR test on or before Day Two after they arrive in the UK, according to the changes announced recently.
