Visa World - COVID-19 Travel Update

Update 10th July 2020

The government are still advising against international travel including cruise ship travel, except to an agreed list of countries.

The rules and requirements necessary to enter these countries are also changing based on the spread of COVID-19 within their borders. Many countries actually require you to have a certificate proving you have had a negative COVID-19 test. If you arrive without it or without checking you may be obliged to self isolate. Face masks are also becoming a requirement in many countries and regular COVID-19 re-assessments may also create immediate changes you will be obliged to follow.

Here is a list of countries you can visit as of today, when this list was originally published by the government (4th July) Serbia was on this list but today it was removed due to the latest assessment of COVID-19 risk

Please do not travel before checking the current regulations for the country you are visiting
