Spain
If you are fully vaccinated and travelling from the UK, you can enter Spain without needing to take a Covid test or quarantine regardless of your reason for travel.
Under the Spanish Government's measures, you can only enter the country from the UK for tourism purposes if you can show valid proof of meeting vaccination requirements.
For those not fully vaccinated, children aged 12 to 17 inclusive travelling for tourism can enter Spain by presenting documentation certifying that they have undertaken a Covid-19 nucleic acid amplification test, which is also known as NAAT.
France
From February 12, 2022, fully vaccinated travellers aged 12 and over from the UK no longer need to present a negative PCR or antigen test result before travel.
But you must continue to provide a proof of vaccination and a sworn statement (déclaration sur l’honneur) self-certifying you're not suffering from Covid-19 symptoms and haven't been in contact with confirmed cases in the 14 days prior to travel.
Travellers from the UK to France who are not fully vaccinated no longer need to self-isolate on arrival. But they must provide a completed international travel certificate to prove the reason for essential travel, a negative PCR test result taken within 72 hours or an antigen test result taken within 48 hours pre-departure if aged 12 years and over.
Like vaccinated travellers, they must also provide a sworn statement (déclaration sur l’honneur) self-certifying they're not suffering from Covid-19 symptoms and haven't been in contact with confirmed cases in the 14 days prior to travel.
Portugal
If you are fully vaccinated you can enter mainland Portugal without needing to test. But to qualify under the fully vaccinated rules, you must prove you have had either a full course of a vaccine approved by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) with both doses of a two dose vaccine or one dose of a single-dose vaccine at least 14 days and no more than 270 days before you arrive.
Or alternatively, it includes a full course of vaccine plus a booster vaccine approved by the EMA at least 14 days before you arrive.
If you are not fully vaccinated, you'll need to show proof of a negative PCR test, which has been taken no more than 24 hours before entry when you check in for your flight to mainland Portugal.
To enter Madeira and Porto Santo, there are no requirements, but if you're travelling to the Azores from anywhere other than mainland Portugal, Madeira or Porto Santo, you will need a negative test before you arrive even if you're fully vaccinated.
Greece
Travellers from the UK can enter Greece by showing a valid vaccination certificate. There must have been at least 14 days and not more than nine months since the completion of your primary vaccination for Covid-19 or you can show a certificate of recovery from Covid-19. Booster jabs are not subject to the same time restrictions.
If you're not fully vaccinated, travellers from the UK can enter the country by showing a certificate of recovery from Covid-19.
Turkey
For all travellers, you will need to complete an online form within a maximum of 72 hours before travelling to enter Turkey if aged six and over. All arrivals into Turkey will be subject to a medical evaluation for symptoms of coronavirus, including temperature checks. Arrivals may be subject to random PCR testing on arrival.
If you're fully vaccinated, you can enter Turkey without needing to test or quarantine. At least 14 days must have passed since your second dose of the vaccine and the vaccine must be approved by the Turkish Ministry of Health or World Health Organisation.
If you are not fully vaccinated, you'll need to show proof of a negative PCR test, which must have been taken no more than 72 hours before entry, or a rapid antigen test taken no more than 48 hours before entry. Alternatively, you will need proof of a recent recovery from Covid-19 within the last six months when entering Turkey.
Mexico
Travellers must register on the Mexico Vuela Seguro Platform before boarding their flight to the country and show the QR code upon arrival at the airport.
If you present symptoms of Covid-19 upon arrival at an airport in Mexico, travellers are advised to ask for the International Health Team ("Sanidad Internacional"). Upon your arrival in Mexico, you will be asked to fill out a Health Questionnaire, which is available in both Spanish and English.
Costa Rica
All travellers from any country will be admitted into Costa Rica as long as they comply with the country's requirements. Visitors under 18, as well as visitors over 18 who have been double-vaccinated with an approved vaccine more than 14 days previously, may enter without mandatory insurance. If you do not meet these requirements, you will need to buy insurance with specific cover requirements.
All travellers must complete an advance epidemiological information form.
El Salvador
You do not need proof of Covid-19 vaccination or a negative Covid-19 test in order to enter the country.
However, travellers should bring proof of vaccination with them as this may occasionally be required for entry to specific events.
