The European Union Council has modified its travel advice to remove all COVID-19-related limitations within the EU.
It requests in a statement that all travel restrictions based on public health be lifted by member nations.
This guarantees that, as long as the situation doesn’t change, no limitations will be added even though none now exist.
Spain was the last member state of the EU to remove its COVID entrance criteria in October. Travelers from outside the EU had to provide confirmation of immunisation, recovery, or a negative COVID test up to that point.
The guidelines do, however, include a number of protections in case the situation worsens.
The council warns that pre-departure measures and interim limitations may be required if the epidemic develops or if new strains appear in nations outside of the EU.
The need to present a digital COVID certificate or submit to testing may be reinstated if the situation worsens in EU nations.
What are the most recent travel policies for EU nations?
Tourists from all nations are no longer need to provide any COVID documentation in order to visit any EU member state after Spain relaxed its final restrictions in October.
Prior to the introduction of the EU Digital COVID Certificate, several nations demanded vaccination documentation, recovery certificates, or test results that were negative (EUDCC).
All visitors are now welcome in EU nations regardless of their immunisation status, level of recuperation, or results of tests.
According to the current suggestions, the EU will probably continue to be devoid of restrictions until instances increase in certain nations or areas or new strains of concern develop.
Although some nations continue to have certain instances when masks must be worn, EU travellers are no longer compelled to do so in airports or on aircraft.
