UK Arrival Testing

What you must do depends on whether you qualify as fully vaccinated under the rules for travel to England.

There are different rules if you have been in a red list country or territory in the 10 days before you arrive in England. Red list rules apply whether you are fully vaccinated or not.

If you are fully vaccinated:

Fully vaccinated means that you have had a complete course of an approved vaccine at least 14 days before you arrive in England. The day you had your final dose does not count as one of the 14 days.

The vaccine must be administered under either:

• the UK vaccination programme
• an overseas vaccination programme with an approved proof of vaccination for travel to the UK

If you are not fully vaccinated:

Unvaccinated or partially vaccinated travellers must book and pay for day 2 and day 8 COVID-19 tests – to be taken after arrival in England.

Everyone entering England from abroad must take one or more tests for coronavirus (COVID-19).

Depending on their vaccination status, people who’ve entered England from abroad need to take a test either:

• on or before day 2 only
• on or before day 2 and on or after day 8

There are different rules for people who’ve been in a country on the red list during the 10 days before they arrive.
