Frequently asked questions

Is it mandatory to be vaccinated in order to travel

This depends on the destination and origin country. In most cases travel is allowed without a full course of vaccine, subject to certain procedures and restrictions. Use the travel restrictions tool above to see rules and regulations specific to your trip.

How long is my Covid-19 certificate valid for

Your certificate, whether stored digitally or otherwise, shows the date that you received a full vaccination course. There is currently no maximum validity for vaccination certificates, though this may change in time based on emerging scientific evidence.

The EU has implemented a digital certification system and has committed to keep this system in place until at least 30th June 2022.

What other documents do I need to travel

Use the travel restrictions tool above to see whether any other documents or declarations are needed. Don’t forget to also check the entry requirements for your destination country to see whether you need a visa to enter.

What if I get Covid-19 before my trip

We’ve created a guide with advice on what to do if you get test positive before your trip. It is absolutely crucial that you do not travel if you receive a positive result. Consider also choosing flexible fares when you book so that you can change or cancel your plans if things change.

What should I do if I get COVID-19 while in another country?

If you start presenting symptoms of COVID-19 whilst on your trip, you should also contact local health departments to find out how you can take another test safely. Get more advice on our guide.
