Do I need a covid test to go on holiday even if I’m fully vaccinated?
Possibly, yes. All countries on the green and amber lists have their own entry requirements – TUI’s handy Covid-hub outlines all of the requirements for each of their destinations, so it’s best to check before you book.
Some countries require pre-departure forms to be completed, for the adults in the group to be double-vaccinated and Covid-tests before you travel and on arrival – even if you’ve had both vaccinations.
Since Covid-testing can bulk up the price of your holiday exponentially, TUI has created an affordable and hassle-free way to sort yours. TUI’s Covid testing packages from £20 per person, and can be purchased for holidays departing up until the end of October. Find out more on TUI.com.
TUI offers customers Covid cover and free changes on holidays, up to 14 days before the date of departure up to 31 October, incase your circumstances change due to Covid too.
