TRAVEL TO SCOTLAND

What are the travel requirements for returning to Scotland in Nov.

Warm clothes, strong umbrella, gloves, scarf.


Entry requirements are the same as for England at the moment. You need to buy a Day 2 antigen test from an approved provider. Then you complete a UK Gov passenger locator form no earlier than 48 hours prior to travel. You will also need to carry proof of double vaccination.

The requirement, for the locator form is 48 HOURS BEFORE, YOU ARRIVE IN THE UK

I stand corrected, should’ve said arrival, soz.

It was 72 hours before, earlier this year.

It’s easy to become confused, with the changing requirements, of the UK, English, Scottish , Welsh, Northern Irish and Spanish Governments.

Carefree and relaxing travel, is a thing of the past now.

. You’re so right glassfull. Brexit just keeps on giving.

I don't think Scotland have removed the day 2 PCR tests yet. England and Wales are now day 2 Antigen, but Scotland is still PCR i believe

It’s only England with the Day 2 Antigen at the moment.
Wales start on October 31. Scotland & NI no announcement

So at the moment it’s the passenger locator form completed within 48 hours of arrival time and pre booking a Day 2 PCR to go Scotland. You’ll also need to show your covid cert
