From Friday, all remaining travel rules and restrictions in the UK will end - meaning people arriving here will not have to fill in a locator form or take a Covid test. But each country around the world has its own rules, meaning for most you still need to provide negative tests, contact details or prove you are vaccinated.
But there are a handful of places around the world where you can travel freely regardless of whether or not you are vaccinated or tested. Travel company Kayak has put together a complete guide to different rules around the world.

- Mexico
