Green List Holiday Destinations

Green list countries: which destinations can I travel to?

As travel restrictions are finally beginning to ease, a simple traffic light system will categorise the countries we can travel to from May 17. This will include red list, amber list, and green list countries, with each colour signifying the different sets of rules around COVID testing and mandatory quarantine.

Every three weeks, the list will be reviewed in accordance with public health advice. The first update is expected to occur between June 1-4, so please visit this page for updates.

Transport Secretary Grant Shapps says countries may be added or removed at each review, but holds out hope that popular holiday destinations will open up over the summer.

What does it mean if a country is on the green list?

Green means you’re good to go, however, it pays to look at individual countries as some have different - or changing - entry requirements, for example, a recent negative COVID test.

Travellers returning from green list destinations will not be required to quarantine, but will still need to take two PCR tests.

These are the current countries on the green list:

• Australia
• Brunei
• Falkland Islands
• Faroe Islands
• Gibraltar
• Iceland
• Israel
• Singapore
• New Zealand
• Singapore
• South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands
• St Helena, Tristan de Cunha, Ascension Island
