International travel restrictions for people coming to Scotland to end
Following agreement at a cross-UK meeting, all international travel restrictions for people travelling to Scotland are to end on Friday 18 March.
Fully vaccinated travellers will no longer be required to complete Passenger Locator Forms under the change which comes into effect at 4am on Friday 18 March.
Non-vaccinated travellers will no longer be required to take pre-departure and day two PCR tests, and will no longer have to complete Passenger Locator Forms.
Monitoring by the UK Health Security Agency will continue with a contingency toolkit of measures developed tailored to specific future scenarios.
The measures were agreed by the Scottish Government following engagement with all four nations.
The Scottish Government expressed concern over the lack of border control measures and – with the other devolved administrations - called on the UK Government to maintain some form of border surveillance.
However, given the negative impact of non-alignment for the tourism industry, alignment was reluctantly agreed on a four nation basis.
These changes only apply to incoming travellers. People should continue to check gov.uk for the latest information on the requirements in other countries when travelling abroad.
