All travellers using the pass will be required to have had a second vaccination within nine months, proof of recovery within the past six months or a booster vaccination to travel within the EU.
The Irish Travel Agents Association (ITAA) said it did not expect the new rules to have a major impact on international travel.
“Those planning to travel are advised to obtain updated EU certifications or recovery certifications and to continue to research all government guidelines before travelling,” it advised.
