Travel advice for Ireland
We're reviewed the travel advice level for Ireland. We now advise you exercise normal safety precautions. You no longer need to show any proof of vaccination, proof of recovery, proof of a negative COVID-19 test or an Irish passenger locator form on arrival in Ireland. There are no post-arrival testing or quarantine requirements. If you develop COVID-19 symptoms while in Ireland, follow local government advice regarding isolation and taking an antigen or PCR test.
