The Isle of Man will welcome back vaccinated Brits for holidays later this month, with no testing or quarantine required.
The island will reopen its borders on June 28, for the first time since it closed back in March 2020. Initially it will only welcome residents from the UK, Ireland and the Channel Islands.
Visitors will need to be fully vaccinated to be allowed to enter. This means having received both doses of one of the approved Covid vaccines (Moderna, Astra Zeneca or Pfizer) at least two weeks before arrival.
If someone is fully vaccinated but has travelled outside of the Common Travel Area within 10 days of travel, they will be prohibited from entering the island.
For children aged 5-17 who are not fully vaccinated, there will be a £30 fee per child as part of a 'Test and Release' scheme
Under this programme, each child will be required to have a Covid test within 48 hours of arrival, and will be required to quarantine until they receive a negative result. The island's authorities have said that children aged four and under will be exempt from this testing and quarantine.
All visitors will need to complete an online form within 48 hours before arriving, with a separate form for each member of the party including children aged up to 17.

There's heaps to explore on the Isle of Man. History fans can step back in time at the likes of Castle Rushen and Peel Castle, while hikers will find a plethora of walking trails from sandy beaches to dense green forests. There are plenty of spots ready for mountain climbing, coasteering and even sea kayaking too.
Oh, and animal fans will want to keep an eye out for the impressive array of birds to be found, not to mention the puffin colony near Peel!

Angela Byrne, Head of Visit Isle of Man, says: "We are thrilled to be opening our borders after a difficult year for everyone. We know that people have been missing being able to travel, and we cannot wait to welcome both returning and new visitors this summer.
"The Island is an ideal choice for those looking to get away, but who want to avoid the stress of uncertainty around changing travel restrictions.
"The Isle of Man is perfect for those looking to escape for a relaxing break, offering a place to recharge and connect with nature. The UNESCO Biosphere status of the Isle of Man highlights just how special the Island is - with outstanding landscapes, incredible biodiversity, medieval castles and heritage sites, and long stretching coastlines. We are thrilled to be able to share these again."
