Ireland is allowing travellers who are fully vaccinated to enter the country from today without quarantine
or self-isolation, including those from Great Britain and the
United States.
The
new rules apply to arrivals from all countries except for those subject to the
EU’s emergency brake mechanism, where the
epidemiological situation worsens quickly, in particular if a variant of
concern or of interest has been detected. In those cases, there will be an urgent,
temporary restriction on all travel into the EU.
Travellers arriving in Ireland from EU and EEA countries who
do not have proof of vaccination or recovery from Covid in the past 180 days will
be required to present evidence of a negative RT-PCR result from a test taken
within 72 hours prior to arrival into the country.
Travellers arriving in Ireland from outside the EU and EEA who
do not have proof of vaccination or recovery from Covid in the past 180 days will
also have to self-quarantine for 14 days, although they can be tested to get a release
from day five onwards.
Quarantine-free access is available to those who have completed a full course of a vaccine approved by the European Medicines Agency with the recommended number of days after the final dose.
