UK travellers who are fully vaccinated do not need to quarantine

Both the British and Portuguese Governments have made traveling between the countries easier for those passengers who already are fully vaccinated.

On the Portuguese side:

• Following the launch of the EU Digital Covid Certificate, and the imposition of quarantine for UK travellers, from the 28^th June onwards, the Portuguese Government has announced that, those who are fully vaccinated do not need to comply with the 14 days quarantine upon arrival to the country.

• This measure is applicable to passengers with an EU approved COVID-19 vaccine administered at least 14 days prior to travel and it is only applicable to mainland Portugal.

On the UK side:

• According to the British Government, from the 19^th July onwards, travellers who have already been fully vaccinated 14 days prior to travel do not need to do a 10-day quarantine upon arrival to the UK.

• The above mentioned is valid together with a PCR test done before departure to the UK and a second PCR test performed on the second day after arrival.

These measures represent extremely important ban lifts on international travels, aiming to boost the tourism industry for both countries.
