On October 4, 2021, the traffic light system of green, amber and red lists was replaced with a simplified system with two categories: firstly, countries and territories on the red list, and secondly, all other countries and territories.

Additionally, the official Gibraltar Tourist Board website lists the countries which are included in the red list, and provides comprehensive information about the requirements in respect of COVID-19 for travelling to Gibraltar, including information on how to book your COVID-19 tests before you arrive. The website also provides information for travellers entering by sea, and crossing the land border into Gibraltar. If you are a fully vaccinated traveler and have not been in a country or territory on the red list in the 10 days preceding your arrival in Gibraltar by air, you must upload your vaccination certificate on the Passenger Locator Form. You must book a COVID-19 lateral flow test before arriving in Gibraltar. This test must take place in Gibraltar within 24 hours of arrival. If you are an unvaccinated traveler and have not been in a country or territory on the red list in the 10 days before arrival, you must have a pre-departure COVID-19 lateral flow test taken no more than 48 hours before your flight to Gibraltar.

After arrival in Luxembourg, a 7 day quarantine is mandatory along with the obligation to undergo a second COVID-19 antigen or PCR test after the 7 days. 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. The Recommendation identifies the following four key areas where Member States will coordinate their efforts: i) 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. ii) 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). iii) 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.). iv) 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. Third-country nationals may no longer enter the territory of the Grand Duchy until December 31, 2021. Exempt of this rule are nationals from the following third countries: Argentina, Australia, Bahrein, Canada, Chile, China, Colombia, Hong Kong, Japan, Jordan, Kuwait, Macao, New Zealand, Peru, Qatar, Rwanda, Saudi Arabia, South Korea, Taiwan, Ukraine, UAE and Uruguay.

Belarus has closed its border crossings with Lithuania. Foreigners traveling across Lithuania for transit purposes do not need to be in self-isolation nor take a COVID-19 test. However, prior registration with the competent authority is necessary. German nationals entering from third countries are permitted to transit, but only without staying overnight in Lithuania. 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: i) 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 spread of coronavirus. ii) 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 sufficient information is not available). iii) 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. An updated list of affected countries (update: every Friday) is available here: LIST OF COUNTRIES AFFECTED BY COVID-19 AND REQUIREMENTS (valid from 29 November to 5 December) | National Public Health Center under the Ministry of Health (lrv.lt)

Travelers coming from countries listed as risk areas (all areas other than "green" or "yellow"), unless they can provide evidence of full vaccination or recent recovery from COVID-19, are subject to mandatory self-isolation for 10 days from the day of arrival. The isolation period can be shortened after a second negative PCR test has been performed on day 7 of self-isolation at the earliest (the test is performed at your own expense). Isolation premises, transportation to isolation premises, transportation to the test site for COVID-19 disease (coronavirus infection) and testing for COVID-19 disease (coronavirus infection) of foreigners arriving in the Republic of Lithuania must be provided and paid for by the employer, inviting person, institution of science and studies and the foreigner him (her)self. Additional medical-quarantine control procedures are applied at Lithuanian airports and Klaipeda Seaport. Airline crew could be subject to self-isolation until their next flight or for a maximum duration of 10 days. There must be a negative test result from a PCR test that is no more than 72 hours old on entry. As an alternative to the test before entry, there is the option of registering for the test in Lithuania within 24 hours of arrival by dialing +370 (52) 196 180 or having the test taken in a private laboratory in Lithuania within this time. The competent authority must be notified along with proof of a negative COVID-19 test result after seven days in quarantine. An assessment of the symptoms specific to COVID-19 in passengers arriving from affected countries will be carried out. If symptoms of COVID-19 disease are detected, the person is separated from other passengers, an ambulance is called and the person is transported to an healthcare facility. The quarantine must be carried out in a location that has at least one separate bedroom for persons not subject to quarantine. Contact with these people must be avoided as far as possible during this time. It is permitted to leave the apartment for a walk within a radius of one kilometer during the quarantine. Travelers from third countries are obliged to go into a ten-day quarantine at home after entry, provided that entry has been approved in advance by the Lithuanian authorities.

Due to an increasing number of new COVID-19 infections Latvia has been classified as high risk area again. In Latvia, proof and verification of the vaccination are possible via the digital green certificate of the EU. The certificate provides standardized recognition of the holder's status in connection with vaccinations, recovery from COVID-19 or test results. All persons travelling to Latvia must fill out an electronic form on the Covidpass.lv website not earlier than 48 hours before entering Latvia and provide the requested information concerning vaccination, testing, or recovery from COVID-19. Restrictions on entry to Latvia depend on the country the person is travelling from and on whether the person has been vaccinated, or recovered from COVID-19. Non-essential travel to Latvia is permitted from EU-countries, EEA-associated countries and Chile, Hong Kong, Jordan, Kuwait, Macao, Qatar, Rwanda, Saudi Arabia, South Korea, Singapore, Taiwan, Ukraine, UK and Uruguay. Travelers from the United States of America, Australia, New Zealand or Canada who are vaccinated with a vaccine recognised by the World Health Organisation, or registered by the European Medicines Agency or an equivalent regulatory body, or who have recovered from COVID-19, and have sufficient proof of recovery, may enter Latvia without additional restrictions until such time that the above countries adopt a certificate that is compatible with the interoperable certificate used in the EU. All non-essential travel from other third countries to Latvia is prohibited with very few exemptions, e.g. work, study and medical treatment. Unvaccinated travelers from high risk countries outside the EU, EEA, Switzerland, or the UK may only enter Latvia for essential reasons. Nonessential travel is prohibited from locations deemed to be "Very High" risk regardless of vaccination or recovery status, currently, no locations are designated as Very High risk.

For travelers who have already been vaccinated twice or have recovered from a COVID-19 infection and can prove this accordingly, a quarantine requirement no longer applies. When entering Latvia from a country where the 14-day cumulative number of COVID-19 cases per 100,000 population exceeds 75, 10-day self-isolation must be observed. The self-isolation time can be shortened if the test is repeated on day 7 and is negative. The test result must be recorded in the test certificate. Self-isolation may be waived by persons with an interoperable vaccination or disease certificate. Self-isolation may be waived for children under the age of 12 traveling with adults who are exempt from the self-isolation requirement. However, in such cases, children do not make close contacts with persons outside their household for 10 days after leaving the high-risk country, do not attend public events, children's groups, do not use public transport. All travelers ages 12 years and older must present a negative result of a molecular PCR COVID-19 test. The certificate must be issued no earlier than 72 hours before. Those who during last three months have recovered from COVID-19 must present a doctor’s note confirming that they have had COVID-19 and that they are not currently infectious. Passengers who are unable to present proof of a negative COVID-19 test or a doctor’s note will be denied boarding. The negative test result or the doctor’s note must be in English, French, Russian or in the official language of the country where the traveler’s journey began. Persons who have been to countries that are not an EU or EEA member state, Switzerland or the UK during the past 14 days, must take another COVID-19 test at their own expense immediately upon arrival in Latvia. This requirement also applies to those arriving in Latvia in a personal vehicle.

The Border region is classified as a high risk area and the number of COVID-19 infections is increasing again all over Ireland. Thus, Ireland is classified as high risk area again. Due to the spread of the new virus variant Omnicron in South Africa, Ireland classified certain African countries as "scheduled states", i.e. Botswana, Eswatini, Lesotho, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa and Zimbabwe. All travelers from overseas (exemption: travelers from scheduled states) will be asked to show valid proof of vaccination or valid proof that they have recovered from COVID-19 in the past 180 days. If no valid proof of vaccination or recovery is shown, evidence of a negative RT-PCR result from a test taken within 72 hours prior to arrival into the country must be presented. If travelers cannot present any evidence of immunity or a recent RT-PCR test result, they may be denied boarding. If travelers arrive in Ireland without proof of vaccination, proof recovery or a valid RT-PCR test result, they will be required to take a test within 36 hours of arrival. Post arrival quarantine for these travelers is no longer required. Irish authorities accept the EU Digital COVID Certificate as evidence of vaccination, recovery, or negative test. Children aged between 12 and 17 must also have valid proof of vaccination or recovery from COVID-19 to be exempt from travel-related testing. All permitted arrivals not younger than 18 years must fill out a COVID-19 Passenger Locator Form (eplf.gov.ie) before travel, travelers arriving from Northern Ireland who have not visited other countries in the preceding 14 days are exempt from this requirement and testing and isolation requirements. Passengers who arrive in an Irish Airport or Sea Port without evidence of a negative/'not detected' test result will commit an offence and may be subject to prosecution, punishable by a fine not exceeding € 2,500 or imprisonment for a term not exceeding 6 months or both.

Due to the spread of the new virus variant Omnicron in South Africa, Iceland classified certain African countries as high-risk areas again, i.e. Botswana, Eswatini, Lesotho, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa and Zimbabwe. Currently, Iceland has classified all countries except Greenland as high-risk areas. With effect from November 11, 2021, even travelers who have been vaccinated or recovered against/from COVID-19 (illness was more than six month ago) must also have negative PCR test or a rapid antigen test carried out no more than 72 hours before departure. All travelers who do not have proof of a completed vaccination against COVID-19 or a recovery certificate are generally required to present a negative PCR test upon arrival, which was carried out a maximum of 72 hours before departure. This also applies to transit passengers. This does not apply to children born in 2005 or later. Airline can refuse a passenger to board if they do not present a negative test that is required. All passengers born before 2005 are required to complete a pre-registration form prior to their departure to Iceland, in which they provide personal and contact details, flight information, travel dates, address (es) during their stay in Iceland and information about countries they will travel. In addition, they have to go through two more PCR tests: one on arrival and another 5-6 days later. All travelers undergoing border control must remain in isolation until they receive a negative result from the second PCR test. Those who test negative in the second PCR test are no longer subject to special precautions. Those who test positive need to self-isolate. Nationals from or passengers with a residence permit for Andorra, Monaco, San Marino, Switzerland, Vatican City and other EEA member states as well as British nationals with a residence certificate may enter Iceland. Also nationals from or passengers with a residence permit from Albania, Australia, Hong Kong, Israel, Japan, Rep. of Korea, Lebanon, Macao, New Zealand, North Macedonia, Rwanda, Serbia, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand and USA are allowed to enter Iceland. Transit travel via Iceland (without a stay in the country) is possible and is not subject to quarantine regulations nor to health examinations. Transit stays in the country for less than 48 hours are possible without a PCR test, but only in a quarantine accommodation. 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 COVID-19 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: i) 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. ii) 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). iii) 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.). iv) 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 who have stayed for more than 24 hours over the last 14 days in Botswana, Eswatini, Lesotho, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa and Zimbabwe must undergo PCR testing at the border upon arrival in the country and then stay in quarantine until the results are available from a second PCR test performed 5 days after arrival. Those who have no ties to Iceland must also present a negative COVID-test that is not older than 72 hours at boarding. Children born 2016 and later are exempt from these rules. This new regulation is in force due to the spread of the new Omnicron virus variant in South Africa. Travelers who do not have proof of a negative COVID-19 test, a completed vaccination against COVID-19 or of having previously had a COVID-19 infection, must be quarantined for five days after the PCR test on entry and undergo another PCR test at the end of the quarantine period. Quarantine may only be ended after a negative test result has been received, and in the event of a positive test result, isolation will be ordered. Children born in 2005 or later are exempt from this. If a positive test result is found and no suitable home quarantine accommodation can be proven, lodging in a central quarantine accommodation can be arranged. The same applies if certain virus variants are found. For all information concerning COVID-19, contact the Icelandic health authority: +354-544 4113

In principle, entry is possible from: i) EU member states, ii) Schengen-associated states: Iceland, Norway, Switzerland and Liechtenstein, iii) Other states from which entry is permitted based on the epidemiological assessment of the situation by the EU. Entry from other states is only possible for fully vaccinated people for any purpose (including visiting or tourism). Vaccination must have been done with a vaccine listed on the website of the Paul Ehrlich Institute and at least 14 days must have passed since the last individual vaccination. More information can be found on the website of the Federal Ministry of the Interior. For non-vaccinated persons from other countries, entry is still only possible in exceptional cases. The prerequisite is that there is a compelling need. For countries where virus mutations are widespread ("virus variant areas"), there is a transport ban. Transport companies, e.g. airlines or railroad companies, are not allowed to transport people from these countries to Germany. Transportation is only possible in narrowly defined exceptional cases: i) For German citizens and persons with residence and existing right of residence in Germany as well as their spouses, their cohabitants from the same household and their minor children for persons who are only transferring in Germany, and in a few other special cases. Even in these exceptional cases, digital entry registration and COVID-19 testing/other proof is required prior to entry and the applicable quarantine requirement for entrants must be observed. Further information can be found below. Travelers over the age of twelve must be able to present the following evidence when entering Germany: i) When entering from a virus variant area: a negative COVID-19 test. Proof of vaccination or recovery is not sufficient in this case. ii) When entering from other areas (regardless of classification or mode of transportation used): proof of vaccination, proof of recovery from infection, or a negative COVID-19 test result. iii) These proofs must be available at the time of entry. In the case of entry by air, proof must also be presented to the airline upon request prior to departure. The following are exempt from the proof of arrival requirement: i) persons who are only changing planes at an airport and ii) transport personnel.

In case of a previous stay in a high risk area (but not virus variant area) the following applies: i) Quarantine ends early if a negative test result, proof of vaccination or proof of recovery is submitted via the entry portal (www.einreiseanmeldung.de). In the case of a test, however, testing may not occur until 5 days after entry at the earliest. ii) For children under 12, quarantine ends 5 days after entry (instead of 10 days) even without proof. In case of a previous stay in a virus variant area applies: i) Shortening the quarantine is generally not possible. If the country in question is classified as a high-risk area during quarantine and is therefore no longer a virus variant area, the regulations for high-risk areas with the above-mentioned exceptions apply. A nationwide rule is in effect that requires one of the following in order to access a wide range of indoor facilities: proof of vaccination, proof of recovery from the virus or a negative test (a rapid antigen test taken within 24 hours or a PCR test taken within 48 hours). This applies to visits to indoor facilities including hospitals, nursing homes, restaurants and catering establishments, hotels and tourist accommodation, events and attractions, sports activities and personal care facilities such as hairdressers. Federal states can decide to relax these restrictions in districts with a low number of infections (7-day incidence below 35 per 100,000 inhabitants). Specific regulations for each federal state are available at the Federal Tourism Competence Centre. Current curfews and contact restrictions do not apply to fully vaccinated (people who have received the final vaccine dose at least 14 days ago) and to anyone who has recovered from COVID-19 between 28 days and six months ago (and has a PCR test to prove it). This includes the lifting of restrictions on private meetings between eligible people. In shops, they will be treated the same as people who have tested negative.

The "EU Digital COVID Certificate" is going to be available from July 1, 2021. Non-essential travel to Belgium and from Belgium to other countries is allowed again. However, the Belgian authorities warn against non-essential travel Travelers to Belgium must always complete and electronically send an electronic "Passenger Locator Form" (PLF) within 48 hours before entry. Proof (electronic or hard copy) should be carried on entry as checks are possible. Failure to do so may result in a fine of up to 250 euros. Entry from non-Schengen states may be refused if the form is missing or false information is provided. Details, including which group of persons must fill out the PLF, are explained in the preamble to the form. The Belgian Government has introduced a traffic light system of high, medium and low-risk regions. Each country is given a color code (red, orange, green). The measures applicable to travel to Belgium depend on the color code assigned to each country. The list of how countries are colored can be found here: https://www.info-coronavirus.be/en/colour-codes-by-country/. Persons traveling to Belgium from a "red zone" must carry a negative PCR test upon entry. The smear test must have been taken no more than 72 hours previously. Children under 6 years of age are exempt from this requirement. From July 1, 2021 people arriving from red zones within the EU are permitted to enter Belgium without the need to self-isolate if they can present a vaccination certificate against COVID-19, a recovery-certificate from COVID-19 valid between 11 and 180 days from the date of a positive PCR test, or a negative PCR test taken within the previous 72 hours. Residents in Belgium and persons of Belgian nationality can replace the pre-departure PCR test by a PCR test taken within 48 hours from arrival, by remaining in self-isolation while waiting for the test result. Also from July 1, 2021 passengers from non-EU red countries will be permitted to enter Belgium with a vaccination certificate against COVID-19. COVID-19 vaccination certificates must show the completed course of vaccination no less than 14 days ago. For people who had been previously infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus, the vaccination is considered to be completed also after a single dose of a vaccine requiring 2 doses. There are tighter restrictions in place for visitors from very high-risk countries, however as of November 22, 2021 Belgium classifies no countries in this category. Third countries are considered to be "red" zones, with the exception of Australia, New Zealand, Rwanda, Singapore, South Korea, Canada, Chile, Hong Kong, Jordan, Kuwait, Macau, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Taiwan, Ukraine and Uruguay. Travelers will always receive an SMS from the Belgian authorities after the PLF has been evaluated and must immediately enter quarantine for at least seven days and be retested on the seventh day of stay in Belgium. Quarantine ends with a negative test result. People who enter Belgium by car, bus or train and stay less than 48 hours in Belgium are exempt from PCR testing and quarantine. As of May 7, 2021 all passenger travel from India, Brazil, and South Africa is suspended. Although Belgian citizens/residents may return home. Limited exceptions also apply to freight transporters, diplomats, and staff of international organizations.

Unvaccinated Individuals: Those entering the country without proof of vaccination must present a PCR test no older than 72 hours. Children arriving before their 6th birthday are exempt from the testing requirement.

Non-essential tourist travel to Greece is currently discouraged. Entry into Greece by sea, air and land is generally only possible for all persons aged twelve years and older with a certificate in digital or written form of a negative PCR test (the sample must have been taken no more than 72 hours ago) or a rapid test (not older than 48 hours) from a recognized testing laboratory from the country of departure in English, German and other languages. The full name on the certificate must match the name on the identification document. Travelers who can provide proof of a complete vaccination (in English, German and other languages, stating the full name of the traveler, the vaccine name and the number of vaccine doses) on the basis of a digital or written certificate and have completed this 14 days before entry do not need a certificate of a negative test. In practice, the presentation of the international vaccination certificate (a yellow "International Certificates of Vaccination and Vaccination Book") is sufficient proof. Travelers who have recovered from an infection may alternatively present a certificate of recovery in digital or written form, issued by an authority or a certified laboratory. The certificate may be issued no earlier than 30 days after the first positive test, performed by a public authority or certified laboratory, and is valid for up to 180 days thereafter.

Areas will be classified with green, orange, red and grey colours (e.g. if not sufficient information is available), iii) 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.), iv) 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.

Israel uses a three-color scale (i.e., red, orange, and yellow) to assign COVID-19-related international travel restrictions by country, including both for travelers arriving in Israel from abroad and those traveling from Israel to another country. To view international travel rules by country or color designation, click here. As of August 17, 2021 Israeli officials have amended international travel restrictions, prohibiting citizens from traveling to Brazil, Bulgaria, Georgia, Mexico, Spain, and Turkey until further notice due to concerns over increased COVID-19 activity in those countries. Only individuals who have obtained special permission from authorities can travel to these locations, officials only grant permission in exceptional cases, such as for humanitarian purposes. Effective July 12, 2021, authorities in Israel have banned the country's citizens from traveling to Belarus and Uzbekistan due to concerns over increased COVID-19 activity in those countries. An existing ban on Israelis traveling to six other high-risk countries - Argentina, Brazil, India, South Africa, Mexicoand Russia - remains in effect until further notice. Authorities in Israel have delayed the entry of vaccinated individual tourists until at least August 1, 2021 due to concerns regarding the spread of COVID-19 variants. Currently, only limited groups of vaccinated foreign tourists are permitted to enter Israel as part of organized tours. Arriving tourists are required to take a serological test to prove the existence of COVID-19 antibodies. Israel is negotiating with other countries regarding mutual recognition of vaccination certificates to remove the need for serological tests. However, the serological test requirement remains in effect until further notice, the presence of antibodies from a serological test allows international travelers to forgo the quarantine requirement.

Israel enforces mandatory quarantine requirements adjusted by location of origin and vaccination/recovery status. In general, travelers who have not been vaccinated or have never been infected with COVID-19 in Israel must enter isolation. Additionally, travelers arriving from red countries must also enter isolation, as well as individuals arriving from an orange-designated location who fail to satisfy the definitions of vaccinated or recovered status from an orange country. Arriving travelers from all locations, regardless of vaccination or recovery status, must enter isolation at least until receiving a negative result from the COVID-19 test taken upon arrival or isolate for 24 hours, whichever duration is shorter. Specifically, this isolation scheme is in place for individuals who have been vaccinated against COVID-19 or have recovered in Israel and have only visited yellow countries in the last 14 days, as well as travelers arriving from an orange country that satisfy the definitions of a vaccinated/recovered person from an orange country. To access the definitions of vaccinated/recovered individuals from orange countries, as well as to view other information applicable to fully vaccinated and recovered travelers, click here. For other travelers, isolation is generally required for a period of 14 days upon arrival. However, these individuals may shorten the isolation period by receiving two negative PCR test results - the first from the mandatory test taken upon arrival and the second taken on the seventh day of isolation. Individuals who test negative twice are permitted to exit isolation after receiving a second negative test result. Individuals can isolate at home or another accommodation of their choosing provided compliance with home isolation requirements.

Authorities will classify Botswana, Eswatini, Lesotho, Namibia, South Africa, and Zimbabwe as high-risk countries from 00:01 November 29, 2021. All permitted arrivals with travel history, including transits, in the affected countries in the previous 14 days must undergo a two-week quarantine in specific group facilities and PCR tests at the beginning and end of their quarantine periods. Individuals must also follow self-monitoring protocols for seven days after their quarantine. Officials are barring the entry of foreign nationals with recent travel history in India amid ongoing COVID-19 controls. From May 4, 2021 onward, foreign nationals without official residency status in Taiwan who have been in India within the previous 14 days will be barred from entering Taiwan. The practical impact of the travel ban may be limited since Taiwan continues to ban nearly all foreign nationals and nonresidents regardless of their travel history. Returning Taiwan residents and citizens with recent travel history in India will be subject to a mandatory 14-day quarantine in government-run facilities, followed by a seven-day period of self-health management. Officials require most inbound passengers, including Taiwan citizens and residents, to present a negative RT-PCR COVID-19 test obtained within three business days before departure. Exceptions to testing requirements are possible in emergency situations, but passengers receiving them must pay for a COVID-19 test upon arrival. All travelers seeking exemptions to pre-departure testing must provide supporting documents or face penalties. Taiwan continues to require international arrivals to quarantine for 14 days in government-designated facilities. All incoming passengers must submit proof that they have suitable accommodations for quarantine in Taiwan. Travelers planning to quarantine at home must sign an affidavit confirming they meet the one-person-per-residence requirements. All inbound travelers who had COVID-19 symptoms within the previous 14 days must undergo a PCR test upon arrival and 24 hours later. Officials require these travelers to stay at a government quarantine facility until both results are available and to see a physician before completing the remainder of the quarantine period. Passengers bound for Taiwan who do not accurately report their travel and medical history could face fines of up to NTD 150,000 (USD 5,270). Authorities require some inbound travelers from Southeast Asian countries to quarantine at government-designated hotels, officials will direct arriving passengers living with people with chronic illnesses, children younger than six years old, or adults older than 65 years old to the facilities. All travelers must pay for a COVID-19 test before their release from quarantine. Arrivals with recent travel history in South Africa, the UK, Bangladesh, Brazil, India, Peru, Israel, Indonesia, Myanmar, and Peru will be required to undergo 14-day quarantines at centralized facilities following their arrival in Taiwan. They must also undergo additional rounds of PCR COVID-19 testing at the beginning and end of their quarantine periods. Passengers who have been to India, the UK, South Africa, eSwatini, or Brazil within 14 days of their arrival in Taiwan must follow self-health management procedures for seven days following their mandatory self-quarantine periods. Starting March 1, 2021 the government will allow essential short-term business travel for specific activities from countries and regions on the Central Epidemic Command Center's (CECC) low- and medium-risk location lists. Travelers must not have visited a high-risk location within 14 days of departure and plan to stay in Taiwan for less than three months. Short-term business travelers also need to provide documentation from a local entity detailing the reason for the trip, a complete travel itinerary, a disease prevention plan, and the results of a COVID-19 test to apply for reduced quarantine in advance of their travel. Arrivals from low-risk countries may leave isolation on the fifth day of quarantine, while travelers from medium-risk countries may exit quarantine on the seventh day. After leaving quarantine, business travelers must practice self-health management until the 21st day after entry. As of June 7, 2021 the CECC classifies Australia, Brunei, Macao, Marshall Islands, Nauru, New Zealand, Palau as low risk. Bhutan, Fiji, Israel and Singapore are designated medium-risk location. A completed "Quarantine System for Entry Form" must be submitted before departure at https://hdhq.mohw.gov.tw/. Such inbound travelers should stay at a quarantine hotel after entering Taiwan if they live with people who are 65 years old or older, children six years old or under, persons with chronic diseases (such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes or lung diseases), or persons who don’t have a separate room (including a separate bathroom).The business traveler shall prepare an English certificate of a negative COVID-19 RT-PCR test result issued within three days prior to boarding the flight to Taiwan for authority inspection. The CECC will require all inbound passengers who had COVID-19 symptoms within the previous 14 days to undergo a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test upon arrival from the same date. Passengers testing negative must undergo a second PCR test 24 hours later. Officials require these travelers to stay at a government quarantine facility until both results are available and see a physician for health checks before release to complete the remainder of the self-quarantine period. Nationals and residents returning to Taiwan are subject to 14-day home quarantine. Arrivals from designated low-risk countries and territories may leave isolation on the fifth day of quarantine, while travelers from medium-risk countries may exit quarantine on the seventh day. After leaving quarantine, business travelers must practice self-health management until the 21st day after entry. As of June 23, 2021 the CECC classifies Australia, Macau, the Marshall Islands, Nauru, New Zealand, Palau, Singapore, and Vietnam as low-risk and Bhutan, Fiji, and Hong Kong as medium-risk locations. In applicable cases, certificate of negative COVID-19 RT-PCT test taken within three days prior to flight to Taiwan has now been relaxed to three working days. Effective April 21, 2020, inbound travelers who have visited Southeast Asia in the last 14 days (starting 00:00 Taipei Standard Time on April 7, 2020) should complete the COVID-19 Health Declaration and Home Quarantine Notice and confirm if their residence satisfies the home quarantine requirements before boarding.
