Ireland

Ireland has called a halt to all restrictions for all arriving international travelers; proof of vaccination, recovery, or a negative PCR test result are no longer required.

A completed Passenger Locator Form for each visitor has also been scrapped.

Vaccinated visitors from outside of the EU and the Schengen travel area no longer require a negative PCR test result to enter but must present proof of full vaccination or proof of recovery from COVID-19 within the past six months.

France 

Similarly, France has also dropped the requirement of a negative PCR test result for vaccinated travelers from outside the EU.

Portugal

In Portugal, vaccinated tourists no longer need to hold a negative PCR test result to enter, although unvaccinated passengers do.

Germany is now admitting all travelers, regardless of their country of origin.
