Уважаемые партнеры!
Как вы, возможно, уже знаете, Правительство Великобритании объявило о существенных позитивных изменениях в требованиях при въезде в страну, начиная с 4 октября 2021.
Ключевые изменения:
- Объединение «зеленой» и «желтой» зон в одну «некрасную» зону и, как следствие, отмена 10- дневного карантина для полностью вакцинированных пассажиров из этих стран.
- Сокращение списка стран, входящих в «красную» зоны.
- Планы по дальнейшему ослаблению и отмене некоторых требований.
Подробнее в оригинале ниже.

The UK Government has announced several changes relating to entry requirements for arrivals into England.
From 0400 BST 04 October, the existing tiered ‘traffic light system’ for determining entry requirements to the UK will be replaced with a simpler, two-tiered system. This new system will see a reduction in the number of destinations categorised as ‘red’ and an expanded list of ‘none-red’ destinations. Also, from this date, a pre-departure Covid-19 test will no longer be required for fully vaccinated adults and children under 18 who are not vaccinated, returning from a non-red country.
Upon entering the UK, a ‘day 2’ PCR test will still be mandatory in the short-term however the UK Government has announced its intention to replace this with a cheaper lateral flow test before the end of October. A date will be advised in due course. Passengers will still be required to complete a passenger locator form before arriving in England.
For unvaccinated adults and arrivals from red list destinations the existing requirement for a pre-departure, day 2 and day 8 PCR testing package and 10-day self-isolation period will remain. Hotel quarantine will also remain for all arrivals from red list destinations.
Finally, the UK Government also announced that for people vaccinated outside the UK, in addition to the EU and US, several other countries will be added to the approved vaccine countries list. The list includes Canada, Israel, Japan and Singapore.
