During the last few months, as vaccination rates have risen, the biggest hurdle facing travellers has been costly tests and complicated paperwork, rather than fears about catching Covid-19.
Luckily those days could soon be over, with the news many destinations are relaxing restrictions.
From Friday, March 18, the UK authorities no longer require a passenger locator form – marking the removal of the last Covid-related travel restriction for fully vaccinated travellers.
But which other destinations are following suit? Here’s a list of places where you can holiday without the hassle of a PCR.
Gibraltar
Following the UK’s lead, this British Overseas Territory will drop the need for tests and passenger locator forms from March 18. Earlier in the month, rules around mask-wearing were also relaxed; face coverings are now only required at hospitals and elderly residential services.
France
France dropped the need for PCRs last month for fully vaccinated travellers, although it’s advisable to have proof of a booster shot, as many restaurants, bars and museums will ask to see this. You’ll also be asked to fill in a quick health declaration.
Croatia
It’s a game of numbers in this popular beach-hopping destination. Anyone fully vaccinated within 270 days, with the last dose received at least 14 days previously, can enter without a PCR. Boosters are essential, so make sure you have those too.
Spain
Brush off those castanets and click your heels, because vaccinated travellers to the national home of flamenco can be footloose once again. But while PCRs have been dropped, all arrivals must carry proof of a vaccination certificate and fill out a Spanish Health Form (spth.gob.es).
Kenya
In time for one of nature’s greatest wildlife spectacles, the great wildebeest migration, this East African country has announced all fully vaccinated travellers can enter without a PCR. Before flying, travellers must upload their vaccine certificates to globalhaven.org and fill in a locator form at ears.health.go.ke.
Seychelles
One of the first destinations to achieve high vaccination rates, this Indian Ocean paradise now welcomes fully vaccinated travellers without a PCR. Anyone over 18 will need two doses and a booster; 12 to 18-year-olds will only need two doses. Overnight curfews have also been lifted.

To Note: The UK do not require Covid Test to enter the country and Passenger Locator Form for vaccinated and unvaccinated. Not just vaccinated as stated in the article. Also the Day 2 test for unvaccinated is not required.

And people do not yet understand what covid 19 really is?

The vaccines is not made for any flu.
There is no laws that can forbid anyone to travel inside of EU based on tests for a flu or vaccination. Just say NO and refer to free movement written in EU charter. If free movement is not valid anymore then EU is going to crack same as the Roman Empire once did.
