Covid and travelling abroad, do I need to be vaccinated etc?

[Phooey]

I'm totally out of the loop with the recent Covid stance as not travelled abroad since 2018. If we were to book a last minute getaway to say a Greek or Spanish island, do any of us still need to either prove we have been vaccinated, or take a test etc?

Thanks

For almost everywhere the answer is no. No proof, no tests, no restrictions.

FCO is usually up to date on entry requirements:

The only places I can think of, apart from China that have any restrictions now are Philippines (test needed) and Indonesia (jabs needed). There may be other places but 99% of the world is back to normal now.

Just enter your destination in Google (as 'entry to Canada Covid' for example) and then go to the UK Gov site as directed. Thats usually very up to date with the rules.

So basically act like it never happened

Thanks guys - the link above is very helpful!

US still requires proof of vaccination I believe - had to upload mine before flying a couple of weeks back

USA dropped the covid vaccine requirement in the past few weeks, so good to go there.

Of course there's plenty of other (non-covid) vaccines needed for entry to certain countries if you are a total refusenik.

Even China have stopped caring about covid tests or restrictions now.

Nice dig there.

Btw, name me a regular holiday destination where you have to show proof of a non covid related vaccine (and regular holiday destination does not include the likes of The Congo). Love to hear, because I'm well travelled and have never had mine checked.
