Some countries have reopened their borders, while many others continue to maintain the most stringent restrictions. As a result of the reopening of several nations to visitors, many of us are excited about taking a vacation this year.
The country of Greece became the latest in a long series of countries to relax its travel restrictions earlier this week. The renowned tourist destination has announced that visitors would no longer be required to complete a pre-travel form in order to enter the country.
As on Tuesday, March 15, those who have been completely vaccinated will only be required to present evidence of their vaccination, rather than the actual vaccine itself.
Holidaymakers will need to have finished their whole course of vaccinations at least 14 days before departure in order to be deemed fully immunized. If your immunization was done more than nine months ago, you will additionally need a booster vaccination in order to be eligible.
Vacationers who are unvaccinated or just partly vaccinated will still be required to produce evidence of recovery or a negative covid-19 test result if they are traveling.
In spite of the fact that there are several reasons for tourists to be optimistic, the coronavirus continues to spread over the globe, and a number of countries have closed their borders to British tourists – with other countries effectively banning foreign travel entirely.
Other nations have continued to impose harsher entry requirements for persons traveling from the United Kingdom. New Zealand is one nation that has remained off-limits during the epidemic, and has done so for the most of the time.
People can only enter New Zealand if they are deemed to be doing so for a “critical purpose,” which is determined by the government.
Critical employees, as well as those who need compassionate entrance into the nation, are examples of individuals who may fall into this category.
Brits are also barred from entering Japan, unless in “extraordinary” situations, and there are countries on every continent that now prohibit visitors from the United Kingdom.
Here is the complete list of countries into which British citizens are now barred:
