Essential information to enter the UK
|
The United Kingdom is taking steps to help stop the spread of COVID-19. 1) To protect your health and others’, everyone must complete an online passenger locator form before arrival in the United Kingdom. 2) You may be required to self-isolate for 10 days on arrival. Check the exempt countries list immediately before you travel as this list can change at short notice. 3) It is a legal requirement that you wear a face covering on public transport in the UK. 4) If you are required to self-isolate, you may be able to shorten the self-isolation period by opting into a test to release scheme, depending on which part of the UK you are in. For further information and a list of providers please visit www.gov.uk/guidance/coronavirus-covid-19-test-to-release-for-international-travel. Failure to comply with the above measures is a criminal offence and you could be fined. Please visit www.gov.uk/uk-border-control for detailed public health advice and requirements for entering the UK.
