UK Foreign Office update: Six countries Brits can now travel to without any tests or vaccine proof

With coronavirus travel restrictions significantly easing, there are a number of countries British tourists can now visit without taking a covid test.

This is on top of news the EU's non-essential travel ban will be lifted from March 1.

From this date, fully vaccinated Brits, or those who have recovered from Covid-19, will be able to visit all European countries for leisure purposes.

And while most countries will still require unvaccinated or partially vaccinated travellers to test before arrival, there are a few that don't.

Let's take a look at places you can visit without having to take a covid test.

Iceland

From Friday (February 25), all Covid-19 related travel restrictions for Iceland have now been removed.

Covid rules within the country have also been lifted.

Mexico

Most visitors from the United Kingdom can enter Mexico without taking a test, as Mexico is open to travellers regardless of their vaccination status.

Travellers are required to complete a Health Declaration Form and scan the QR code it generates on arrival.

Norway

The travel-restrictions upon entry into Norway have been lifted.

The same rules as prior to the pandemic now apply.

Lithuania

British nationals travelling to Lithuania from the UK are no longer required to prove their vaccination status, recovery from Covid-19 or have a negative Covid-19 test result on arrival.

Costa Rica

Adults who are not fully-vaccinated can visit Costa Rica without taking a test as long as they have proof of travel insurance that covers lodging and medical expenses in case of contracting Covid-19.

Anyone aged 18 or under, along with fully-vaccinated adults, can enter Costa Rica without mandatory insurance.

El Salvador

Most travellers can enter El Salvador without a negative test result and do not have to quarantine on arrival.

You also do not need to be vaccinated, however, travellers are advised to bring proof of vaccination as this may be required for entry to specific events and premises.
