    Default 74 countries have now scrapped all Covid travel restrictions – here's our complete guide

    Covid rules are being jettisoned around the world, with nearly every European country – including the UK – and many nations beyond Europe now completely free from travel restrictions.



    However, testing remains in place for some long-haul trips, unvaccinated or unboosted people are still banned from some countries entirely, mask rules linger, and Covid passports are sometimes used.

    Our regularly updated country-by-country guide explains the key restrictions in all major holiday destinations so you know what to expect. However, they change fast, so it would be wise to cross-reference against the Foreign Office website too. Find out how to get a Covid pass, test or proof of recovery ahead of your holiday in our dedicated guides.
