Travelers who have been in or transited through South Africa in the past 10 days are not allowed to enter the UK. This does not apply to British nationals, nationals of Ireland and residents of the UK. Over 40 countries in Europe, Asia, South America, the Caribbean and the Middle East have restricted travel from the UK and in some cases, also travel from other countries that have documented cases with the variant.

Great Britain requires a negative COVID-19 test before entry. The UK government has announced that starting at 5 a.m. on January 18, 2021, all entries into England from all countries except Scotland, Northern Ireland, Ireland, Isle of Man, Jersey and Guernsey must be accompanied by a negative COVID-19 test that is no more than 72 hours old from the time the test is taken until entry. PCR tests, RT lamp tests and antigen tests are accepted. The negative test certificate, in English, French or Spanish, must be presented before the start of the journey (before boarding the plane, ferry or train). Children under the age of 11 are exempt from the testing requirement. Further details can be found on the British government's website. Travelers entering England without a negative PCR test will face a fine of at least £500. The Scottish government has announced that it will introduce similar entry restrictions for all travelers (except from the Common Travel Area) to Scotland from 5 a.m. on January 18, 2021. COVID-19 regulations mean that you must self-isolate for 10 days when you arrive in the UK. This applies to UK residents and visitors to the UK. You do not have to self-isolate on arrival in England if, during the last 10 days, you have only been somewhere on the travel corridor exempt list, or in the UK. You will need to self-isolate for up to 10 days - the exact number of days depends on when you left the non-exempt country, territory or region. You will need to self-isolate when you arrive in England if you visit somewhere that is not exempt in the 10 days before you arrive. Visiting includes making a transit stop. Effective December 5, 2020 travelers engaged in specific business activities that deliver a significant benefit to the UK economy, including those that create or preserve 50 or more jobs in UK, will no longer need to self-isolate upon entering the country. In addition, as of the same date, TV production staff, journalists, and recently signed elite athletes will also be exempt from self-isolation. These travelers will, however, still need to present a complete passenger locator form upon arrival. Effective December 15, 2020 authorities in the UK will allow travelers arriving to England from countries with elevated COVID-19 activity to reduce the required self-isolation period from 14 to five days. The prerequisite is a negative PCR test. The test is subject to a fee and must be performed at a laboratory licensed by the government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. This does not apply to Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Travelers will be allowed to take a COVID-19 test at their own expense after five days of self-isolation, however, test results may take up to 48 hours to be returned. They do not need to self-isolate if they have spent the last 14 days in one of these places, or in the UK. When entering the United Kingdom after transit through countries not published under "Travel Corridors", the following applies: All travelers entering from these countries must isolate themselves immediately after entry for 14 days. This does not apply to transit travellers who come directly from countries for which no quarantine obligation exists and who have not come into contact with any persons during transit through a country for which a quarantine obligation exists. Authorities in Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales have their own lists with safe countries, setting their own quarantine requirements. Travelers arriving from Ireland, the Channel Islands, and the Isle of Man who have been there for the 14 days prior to entry are exempt from quarantine. Health officials may perform spot checks to ensure compliance. Persons without suitable accommodation will be required to stay in facilities arranged by the government at their own expense. The measures apply to arrival by air, rail, and ferry.

Non-essential tourist travel to Switzerland is warned against due to high infection rates. On December 20, 2020 Switzerland announced a general entry ban for all travelers from the UK and South Africa and suspended all flights between the UK/South Africa and Switzerland. The Swiss Federal Office of Civil Aviation (FOCA) grants exceptional permits to airlines for flights from these countries on a case-by-case basis. Swiss and Liechtenstein passengers and holders of a Swiss residence permit may be carried. Flights departing from Switzerland are basically for the return journey for persons residing in Great Britain and South Africa who are currently in Switzerland. Entry from EU Member States and Schengen associated countries is allowed without restrictions, unless a country or region is defined as COVID-19 risk area. The Federal Office of Public Health keeps a list of countries concerned (https://www.bag.admin.ch/bag/en/home/krankheiten/ausbrueche-epidemien-pandemien/aktuelle-ausbrueche-epidemien/novel-cov/empfehlungen-fuer-reisende/quarantaene-einreisende.html#1918240392) that is updated regularly. As of January 12, 2021, Ireland is new on this list of countries with an increased risk of infection. Those planning to transit via Switzerland on their way to their destination country can no longer do so if they depart from one of the countries in Switzerland’s list of high-risk areas. It is possible to stopover at Swiss airports, as long as you do not leave the transit zone of the airport, and you can prove that you can continue your journey to your destination country.

Anyone arriving in Switzerland from the United Kingdom or South Africa since December 14, 2020 regardless of nationality, is required to self-isolate for 10 days from the date of arrival. British citizens currently in quarantine who intend to travel to the airport will need to follow protective measures to remain in quarantine; local cantonal authorities will be able to advise on this, which may include avoiding public transport. Swiss authorities have created a list of "high risk" countries from which travelers must undergo a mandatory 10-day self-quarantine, if they have spent time in the past 14 days in these countries. They must go to their homes or to another suitable accomodation and must self-quarantine there for 10 days. If travelers receive a negative test result, they are not exempt from the mandatory quarantine requirement and are not allowed to shorten the quarantine period. The mandatory quarantine requirement does not apply to transit passengers who have spent less than 24 hours in a country or area with an increased risk of infection. Business travelers who are traveling for an important reason that cannot be postponed are exempt from the quarantine requirement in Switzerland, as well as people traveling for an important medical reason that cannot be postponed, or transit passengers who have spent less than 24 hours in a country or area with an increased risk of infection.

In general, entry from EU Member States and Schengen Area countries is allowed without restrictions. Persons entering Slovenia from outside the Schengen area (entry by land from Croatia and entry by air) and entering Slovenia from one of the red-listed countries are subject to testing upon entry (rapid antigen test). Depending on their epidemiological situation, Slovenia divides countries into three categories. For each category, a different set of entry rules applies: been 1. People with permanent or temporary residence in a country that has been listed as epidemiologically safe (the green list), and those arriving from such countries, can enter Slovenia without restrictions or quarantine. 2. People entering Slovenia, who are a resident of a country listed as having an unstable epidemiological situation (red list) or who arrive from such a country, shall be required to stay in quarantine for a period of ten days. 3.) If a country is not on epidemiologically safe country list, nor on the list of countries with an unstable epidemiological situation, it shall be considered that it has been included on the orange list. People arriving in Slovenia from an EU Member state or member of the Schengen Area that has been included on the orange list can enter Slovenia without restrictions or quarantine. Traveling in transit through Slovenia to another country within 12 hours of entry is allowed. Persons entering Slovenia in transit must have valid travel documents (including a visa or a residence permit when required), including a document stating the purpose of travel and the destination (as of July 14, 2020 this document is not required for travelers with a permanent or temporary residence in EU member states).

A person who has been in close contact with another person who tested positive for COVID-19, or who came from abroad (from a red listed country), must limit their contact with other people. This means that the healthy person must quarantine themselves at home, i.e. self-isolate at their permanent, temporary, or other address of residence. The quarantine lasts 10 days from the last high-risk contact, or 10 days from the day of entry into Slovenia. The purpose of quarantining at home is to prevent the spread of infection. The red list of epidemiologically unstable countries includes countries who registered more than 40 cases per 100,000 inhabitants over two weeks. Quarantine shall not be ordered for persons who can submit a medical certificate proving that they have tested negative for COVID-19, which is not older than 48 hours and was performed in an EU member state, in a member of the Schengen Area, i.e. with an organization or individual recognized as suitable and credible and published on the National Laboratory of Health, Environment and Food website.

Non-essential tourist travel to Luxembourg is currently warned against due to high infection rates. No border checks are carried out on persons entering Luxembourg. On October 13, 2020, EU Member States passed a Council Recommendation regarding a coordinated approach to restrictions on movement in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. In order to reduce the spread of the coronavirus outbreak, the 27 EU Member States have taken several measures, some of which have affected the right of citizens to move freely within the European Union (e.g. such as the requirement to undergo quarantine or coronavirus testing). The Recommendation identifies the following four key areas where Member States will coordinate their efforts: 1) Member States shall take into account the notification rate, the test positivity rate and the testing rate when considering restriction measures as a response to the prevention of the coronavirus spread. 2) The European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control shall publish a map of all EU Member States including Norway, Liechtenstein and Iceland reflecting the risk levels within the regions in Europe by way of using a traffic light system. Areas will be classified with green, orange, red and grey colors (e.g. if not sufficient information is available). 3) On this basis, Member States shall decide on their own whether, and which specific restrictions are to be implemented towards travelers coming to their territory. However, the Member States have agreed on the same approach regarding areas marked as green, i.e. no restrictions like testing or quarantine will be implemented to travelers coming from green areas. Further, travelers in relevant functions or need shall not be subject to quarantine measures (e.g. patients traveling for medical reasons, diplomats, journalists etc.). 4) The Member States shall provide details of any upcoming restrictions regarding the right to free movement or the cancellation of any travel restrictions to Member States and Commission. Travelers coming from EU countries and Schengen member states, can enter Luxembourg without restrictions. Third country nationals with residence in Australia, China (PRC), Hong Kong, Japan, Macao, New Zealand, Rwanda, South Korea, Singapore and Thailand are allowed to enter Luxembourg with the obligation to hold official docments (i.e. permanent place of residence, residence permit, work permit) with them. Other third-country nationals may not enter the territory of the Grand Duchy until March 31, 2021 It should be noted that from January 1, 2021, restrictions also apply to third-country nationals residing in the UK. Passengers from the UK must have proof of a negative PCR test dated between 48 and 72 hours old and must undergo a new PCR test at Luxemboug airport as well as self-quarantine until the test result is obtained.. Some exemptions of third-country nationals are allowed to enter the Grand Duchy, i.e. third-country nationals who have the status of long-term resident in accordance with European Directive 2003/109/EC on long-term residents, as well as any other person entitled to stay in the country in accordance with the corresponding European Directives and with the national law of a European Union member State or a Schengen Area associated country, and anyone who holds a national long-term visa issued by any of these States; cross-border workers; passengers in transit; passengers travelling for duly justified urgent family reasons and/or highly-qualified workers from third countries if their employment is necessary in economic terms and their work cannot be postponed or carried out from abroad.

The Recommendation identifies the following four key areas where Member States will coordinate their efforts: 1) Member States shall take into account the notification rate, the test positivity rate and the testing rate when considering restriction measures as a response to the prevention of the Coronavirus spread. 2) The European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control shall publish a map of all EU Member States including Norway, Liechtenstein and Iceland reflecting the risk levels within the regions in Europe by way of using a traffic light system. Areas will be classified with green, orange, red and grey colours (e.g. if not sufficient information is available). 3) On this basis, Member States shall decide on their own whether and which specific restrictions are to be implemented towards travelers coming to their territory. However, the Member States have agreed on the same approach regarding areas marked as green, i.e. no restrictions like testing or quarantine will be implemented to travelers coming from green areas. Further, travelers in relevant functions or need shall not be subject to quarantine measures (e.g. patients traveling for medical reasons, diplomats, journalists etc.). 4) The Member States shall provide details of any upcoming restrictions regarding the right to free movement or the cancellation of any travel restrictions to Member States and Commission. As of August 19, 2020 all countries and territories in the world have been qualified as risk areas by Iceland. Iceland is open to passengers inside the Schengen Area, but all arriving passengers must choose between a 14-day quarantine or a double testing procedure with a quarantine for 4-5 days. Travelers having recovered from a COVID-19 infection are allowed to enter Iceland without any restrictions. When entering Iceland, a declaration with personal contact details must be submitted. Persons traveling to Iceland may not be picked up at the airport. This includes family members and friends. Arrivals to Iceland must take the flybus, a taxi, a rental car or a private car that has been dropped off at the airport.

On October 13, 2020, EU Member States passed a Council Recommendation regarding a coordinated approach to restrictions on movement in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. In order to reduce the spread of the coronavirus outbreak, the 27 EU Member States have taken several measures, some of which have affected the right of citizens to move freely within the European Union (e.g. such as the requirement to undergo quarantine or coronavirus testing). The Recommendation identifies the following four key areas where Member States will coordinate their efforts: 1) Member States shall take into account the notification rate, the test positivity rate and the testing rate when considering restriction measures as a response to the prevention of the Coronavirus spread. 2) The European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control shall publish a map of all EU Member States including Norway, Liechtenstein and Iceland, reflecting the risk levels within the regions in Europe by way of using a traffic light system. Areas will be classified with green, orange, red and grey colours (e.g. if not sufficient information is available). 3) On this basis, Member States shall decide on their own whether, and which specific restrictions are to be implemented towards travelers coming to their territory. However, the Member States have agreed on the same approach regarding areas marked as green, i.e. no restrictions like testing or quarantine will be implemented to travelers coming from green areas. Further, travelers in relevant functions or needs shall not be subject to quarantine measures (e.g. patients traveling for medical reasons, diplomats, journalists etc.) 4) The Member States shall provide details of any upcoming restrictions regarding the right to free movement or the cancellation of any travel restrictions to Member States and Commission. Entry from EU member states and Schengen member states as well as from all non-EU countries/third countries to Hungary, is not allowed without a special reason. This does not apply to military convoys, business or diplomatic trips. An exemption may be granted by the police if entry is for court, administrative, family, health, education, or other legitimate reasons and if health screening is negative; however, travelers that are exempt must self-quarantine for 10 days. or participate in a double screening measure, including a 5 days quarantine until the results of the second test are known. If both PCR-tests are negative no further measures are required. Those who test positive are required to self-isolate. The time elapsed between both tests must be 48 hours. Travelers who can document recovery from a COVID-19 infection during the last six months may enter Hungary without any restrictions.

Only New Zealand residents, citizens (and their accompanying children and partners), and selected foreign nationals are permitted to enter New Zealand. This includes the Realm countries (the Cook Islands, Niue, Tokelau), Australian citizens and permanent residents ordinarily resident in New Zealand, airline and marine crew. An entry ban for most foreign nationals remains in place, however, officials lifted a requirement for partners and dependents of citizens to return to the country together, provided they have a visa based on the relationship or usually reside in New Zealand. Such travelers and diplomats posted in New Zealand can enter the country without prior consent from the government. Authorities permit partners, dependents, and legal guardians of citizens without visas to enter the country. Entry is also possible for humanitarian reasons, Australian citizens and permanent residents that live in New Zealand, and Samoan and Tongan citizens on essential trips approved by their governments. Critical workers are permitted to travel to New Zealand on short-term visas valid up to six months. Companies must apply for a visa and demonstrate that the worker's technical skills are unobtainable within the country, or they are working on infrastructure projects. Some long-term, essential workers who meet short-term entrance criteria and earn twice the median salary in the country or participate in a government-backed event are allowed to enter. The government requires people from these groups to receive permission before traveling to the country and will review applications for travel on a case-by-case basis. Transit is only allowed in Auckland for maximum 24 hours.
