For those who have flown from UK to Ireland

[Queenie6655]

Hello all

Anyone be able to shed some light on the pcr testing for flying from London to Ireland and what the process is like going back please?

I have searched online and can't seem to find info re pcr tests for those who have full vaccination

Thank you all xxxx

AFAIK, happy to be corrected, etc at the moment your vaccination status makes no difference to the testing requirement...

It UK gov info for UK -> Ireland here:

www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/ireland/entry-requirements

"All passengers arriving into Ireland (except those arriving from Northern Ireland) are required to have a negative/’not detected’ result from a pre-departure COVID-19 Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) test carried out no more than 72 hours prior to arrival in Ireland.

Passengers will be asked to present evidence of their negative/‘not detected’ result before boarding their flight or ferry, and will be required to produce this evidence to Immigration Officers on arrival at points of entry to the State."

You'd also need to check to see it the airline involved as imposed any testing/documentation requirements.

Thank you so much

And then flying back I wonder what will happen re pcr tests?

Hi there , you need to complete a passenger location firm online, you also have to get a PCR test 5 days after arrival. It costs €120 and you can do it in Dublin Airport, in town (Stephens green) or in Leopardstown. You don't need to get a pcr going back to the UK

Hi, you will need to have a PCR test result from the last 72 hours for arrival into Ireland. Without this you will be sent to the hotel quarrantine until you have done a test and have a result at your own expense. You then need to do a 5 day mandatory quarrantine at the address you give on your passenger locator form followed by W negative pcr test on day 5. Or without a test the full 14 day quarrantine.

Non essential travel is fined so have a bill or something with your home address in the U.K. to show the guards on your return to the airport. You don’t need a PCR for returning to the U.K.

Thank you al xxxx
