The Foreign Office (FCDO) is urging anyone planning to travel abroad over the festive period to ensure they are aware of any restrictions that may hinder their travel.

The new chancellor is being urged to consider the travel industry as a special case

International travel is permitted from Wednesday (2 December) after England’s national lockdown ceased, with the country returning to tiered Covid restrictions by region.


People living under Westminster’s strictest coronavirus rules, Tier 3, are allowed to travel – but are strongly advised to avoid leaving their area over the coming weeks.


Residents of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are urged to make themselves aware of any additional travel rules set out by their respective devolved administrations.
