Check if you qualify as fully vaccinated
To qualify under the fully vaccinated rules for travel to England, you must have proof of full vaccination with a full course of an approved vaccine.
You must have had your final dose of the vaccine at least 14 days before you arrive in England. The day you had your final dose does not count as one of the 14 days.
The proof of vaccination must have been issued by either:
- the UK vaccination programme
- the United Nations vaccine programme for staff and volunteers
- an overseas vaccination programme with an approved proof of vaccination for travel to the UK
Children and other groups that can follow fully vaccinated rules
Even if you are not fully vaccinated, the fully vaccinated rules apply if you are:
- under 18 - see Travelling with children in this guidance
- taking part in an approved COVID-19 vaccine trial in the UK or the USA (US residents only for USA trials), or a phase 2 or 3 vaccine trial that is regulated by the EMA or SRA

Please do not shoot the messenger and check again and with airline transit countries pre travel.
You may subscribe to their email updates. Note these rues are for England other parts of UK check again.
Pre-departure testing removed for vaccinated travellers
Testing and border measures are changing for fully eligible fully vaccinated travellers arriving in England.
By Department of Health and Social Care
Updated Jan. 05, 2022 18:45 pm
Press release
Testing and border measures are changing for fully eligible fully vaccinated travellers arriving in England.
- A lateral flow test can be used instead of PCR tests for eligible fully vaccinated travellers and over 5s to take on or before day 2
- Eligible fully vaccinated travellers and under 18s will no longer have to take a pre-departure test or self-isolate on arrival in England - returning to the travel rules that were in place before Omicron
- Omicron is the dominant variant in the UK and is spreading widely among the community
From 4am on Sunday 9 January, eligible fully vaccinated travellers and over 5s will be able to take a lateral flow test instead of a PCR on or before day 2 of their arrival in England. Lateral flow tests for travel can be booked from Friday 7 January and taken upon arrival, by the end of day 2.
Eligible fully vaccinated passengers and under 18s will no longer need to take a pre-departure test or self-isolate on arrival in England from 4am on Friday 7 January but must continue to take their post-arrival tests.
As data shows Omicron is the dominant variant in the UK and spreading widely in the community it is now proportionate to cautiously reduce testing measures at the borders.
Anyone who receives a positive result on their lateral flow test must self-isolate immediately and order a NHS PCR test from gov.uk. Positive PCR tests for arrivals will be sequenced to understand if and where variants are emerging around the globe in order to protect the UK public.
Health and Social Care Secretary Sajid Javid said:
As we learn more about the Omicron variant it is right that we keep our testing and border measures under review to ensure they remain proportionate.
The steps we’re taking will make travel easier for people while protecting the UK public from the virus.
Omicron continues to be a serious threat and it is important that travellers continue to get tested. The most important thing anyone can do if they haven’t already is come forward for their vaccine.
Transport Secretary, Grant Shapps said:
I’ve always said that we won’t keep international travel restrictions in place any longer than they are necessary to protect public health.
That’s why we’re removing the temporary, extra testing measures we introduced for Omicron in November, making travel easier and cheaper for fully vaccinated passengers and providing a big boost for the travel industry as we enter the peak new year booking period.
We want to provide more certainty to passengers and businesses, and will do a full review of our international travel measures for 2022 by the end of the month.
Dr Susan Hopkins UK Health Security Agency said:
It is vital anyone who receives a positive Day 2 lateral flow test self-isolates immediately and orders a PCR on gov uk. All travel PCRs with high amounts of virus are sequenced to help us understand if any new variants are emerging around the world and entering the UK.
Everyone must continue to wear face coverings where required, wash hands regularly and work from home to help stop the spread of the virus and keep our loved ones and community safe.
Lateral flow tests for international travel must be purchased from a private provider as NHS Test and Trace lateral flow tests cannot be used for international travel. Passengers who have already bought a PCR to use for travel do not need to buy another test as PCRs can still be used.
Unvaccinated passengers must continue to take a pre-departure test, PCR test on or before Day 2 and on or after Day 8 and self-isolate for 10 days. ‘Test to release’ remains an option for unvaccinated people to shorten their self-isolation period.
Proof of vaccination from over 15 further countries and territories will be accepted for entry into England from 4am on Monday 10 January: Bhutan, Cameroon, Cote d’Ivoire, Fiji, Iraq, Liberia, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, north of Cyprus, Palau, Papua New Guinea, Paraguay, Solomon Islands, The Gambia and Uzbekistan.
The World Health Organisation has recently granted WHO Emergency Use List (EUL) authorisation to the two versions of the ‘Novavax’ vaccine named Covovax and Nuvaxovid. Therefore, eligible travellers who have received either version of this vaccine will be recognised for international travel into England from 4am on Monday 10 January.
No countries have been added to the UK travel red list, which remains on standby. A further review of all travel measures will be carried out later in the month, and our long-term goal remains to return to safe, restriction-free travel as soon as it’s safe to do so.
Notes to editors:
- PCR tests can be accessed free of charge by ordering in the usual way through NHS Test and Trace – via nhs.uk/coronavirus or by calling 119. Test providers will be expected to advise people to self-isolate and direct people towards the NHS Test and Trace booking page.
- This is separate to the earlier decision made by the UK Health Security Agency to temporarily suspend confirmatory PCR tests in the community in the UK. https://www.gov.uk/government/news/confirmatory-pcr-tests-to-be-temporarily-suspended-for-positive-lateral-flow-test-results
- Under the Test to Release scheme, unvaccinated travellers can choose to pay for a private COVID-19 test on day 5. If the result is negative (and the result of the day 2 test result is negative) they can end their quarantine.

Ok thanks Joe, appreciated

So I will need to fly back up country to the office that issued the extension?
The reason I ask I will have to take the covid fit to fly tests which if positive negates need for a re entry permit altogether.
I've pre booked test to do this in Bangkok 2 days prior.
Or is there certain to be time between check in and boarding?
Ay my age it takes me a long tome to get from Immigration to the gate , any chance my flight will leave without me if I have checked in (no baggage).

Dear Fellow Travellers , if that doesn't sound too subversive!
I hope toarrive Swampy domestic on a weekend around 530pm be handy to get re entry done early as international flight check in is a dawn
is it possible without an international exit ticket for that day please, before going airside. I recall many years ago doing it in a little room airside I think, can show them my actual booking if needed.
If it is a long schlepp out to immigration HQ office in Thung Hong Song
Laksi/Chaeng Wattana? North Bangkok which case may as well do here on a day round trip?
What are their Office hours and location , departures Hall, and in Covid era is an appointment required please?
Any recent experience most welcome.
Happy and safe new year to all and let's hope travel may resume closer to "normal" in 2022/2565

34 minutes ago, KhaoYai said:Quite true but this seems to be a case of one law for foreigners and another for Thai's. My Thai friend and her daughter came to Thailand to visit family in early December. Whist she was staying with her mother in Korat her mother became ill and tested positive for Covid. The mother was taken in to hospital but my friend and her daughter were allowed to isolate in her mother's house - obviously at no cost whatsoever.
Interesting example. Tends to reinforce the milk the foreign insurance companies scam. Even if these folks had large insurance why extort Thais when the foreign tourists are a soft touch. Co payment even 10% might make tourists assess the real risks. Once the hospitals are full it'll be altered to a hotel scam.
For those new to LOS , Land of Scams the vax roll out the ASQ id always all about enrich a few and little to do with public safety.
The tcheow chow moguls rightly see every disaster as an opportunity, small mid size failed hotel swill be snapped up like a 24/7 chicken gobbet in a rubber band.
I'm sure when this situation becomes clear to foreign press it'll deter all but those with family here from visiting and LOS can return to a swamp like Philippines without American protection and join China's other satraps.

You could ban booze, driving and foolishness but those who misbehave are deaf and their leaders are are immune from responsibility, accountability and redress.
My sincere advice is enjoy a glass at home if you must but keep off the roads. We'll inevitably see the Truck/Bus roll onto an overcrowded pickup rear full of unstrapped drunks who then wipe out a few motorbikes, not just holidays every single day.
Considering its more lethal than the pandemic if only the same effort were put in to very basic road safety (crash helmets, no riding tray of pick up trucks on highways), but then there's no juice from contract padding or hotels gouging trapping guests at inflated prices.

Surely we need more pharma expertise , more convicted drug dealers in power. If only TAT can assure millions of Hi-Sos who are not price sensitive that LOS is so much safer than safer, cleaner less hassle than their usual picks, Mustique, Martinique, Seychelles, Biarritz, Maui, costa Esmerelda, Marquesas, Aitutaki , Reunion, Bermuda, Bahamas and Caymans.
I'm sure such folk don't have professional advisors aware of the sleaze , nepotism , corruption in Land of Flip Flops

Some simple measure may help,
1 Enforce crash helmet all passengers on motor cycles, no helmet bike confiscated, sold no quibble on the spot, walk home.
Same bikes with no insurance or tax, may help get many poorly maintained bikes I see daily, some driven by kids who surely cannot have valid insurance?
2 For delinquent motorists bans for the rich, fines for the poor so act as a big disincentive. Lifetime bans for recidivists 3 strikes etc.
3 I know it's radical but prosecute those who pull cops to their death in Ferraris, this may prove a step to far as it seems permissable at present.
4 More roundabouts / traffic circles especially on major intersections where the U turn gamble often leads to smashes, I see so many pieces of shattered brake lights near junctions.
5 All traffic fines violations to be paid to nd at Provincial Hospital HQ to benefit the health system and stop officers pocketing the money. Offenders to do compulsory voluntary work one day a week in accident departments, sluice clean, wash floors, push gurneys etc.
6 Random stop check as in most states for documents give each officer a quota 3 a day etc., No fines payable on spot.

30 minutes ago, stigar said:USA 580.000 new cases and thailand only about 3000 new cases????
They'll be flying in in drops and dropping like flies, if this variant is as deadly as Delta. Even if people recover those who take up ICU's block others and regardless of beds in streets as we saw in the last wave there is a finite number of trained staff and some of them may succumb, sick , die or be forced to quarantine.
Severe Chinese style lockdowns my be the sole solution, we'll soon know 13 million in Xian is the Petri dish. I don't think this regime has the will cojones or discipline to really herd these pussy cats, all we can do is get vaxxed, mask up and hide, yet I foresee a New Year superspread.

Who'd have thought, certainly not TAT, luckily millions of hi-so big spenders due from ...errr Myanmar? Mars?,Mongolia?
Anyways, I'm sure they'll think of something perhaps remove those already here into expensive forced quarantine or the usual last resort increase prices to equalize revenue.
I fear TAT have mispoken these widely over optimistic gentlemen would be unable to arrange refreshments in a brewery?

Couldn't find a single wandering Jew for days, hundreds of "missing' Africans thousands of possibly infected Burmese, looks like the sort of border control and enforcement that could only find a perp if it ran them over and dragged the down the main drag in a Ferrari....oh wait a mo.
These are same clowns who want the same photos and map of my house in triplicate year after year, cannot get a 90 day online working after years oh and solicit bribes openly, while handing out copies of our personal data as scrap paper.

Not certain there will actually be any real truly democratic process where anyone can stand, free of vote rigging before and after, and like UK several unelected unmentionable tiers lest teh peasants urged on by Red Shirts actually wrest power.
I think we can be sure usual snouts in trough as the Tcheowchao plutocrats slice and dice the spoils with browner pooyais .
We'll soon see if real democracy happens , the money changes color, RedBSboy and most of the present brass/cops and parts of the regime who illegally overthrew an elected government would be behind bars .
I am not holding my breath. The powers that be successfully rigged last one and a divided short sighted opposition doesn't help.

Luckily I've found the
DO LESS BUYERS CLUB
They eschew wine,women and bong, free digs and endless fun with the lads , but we don't talk about what happens in tight club.
Here's the deal
We Graze thru the Moo Ban on dawn patrol in saffron fancy dress garnering a bowl of leaves roadkill and leftovers from the little folk, who bow politely wishing they didn't face 9 hours chiicken gutting, planting rice or slopping out pigs at falang hangouts.
The Pot luck of the day is so appealing you wont want much and many just wail and chant all morning.
Much of the activity is like marriage endless pushing (leaves) and other flappy objects around only to be repeated day in day out.
If it wasn't for moonlighting as a rent boy I'd find it a bit monotonous , but seeing so many members trapped in a similar wheel like Asoke's hamsters but with jobs, nylon shirts, plastic wives and sell phones glued to their paws I think we now who is winning here.
