What are the current testing rules for travel to the UK?
People who are fully vaccinated against Covid are not required to take a pre-departure test when travelling to the UK from non-red listed countries.
However, testing for travel to the UK has not been ruled out completely.
People who are fully jabbed still have to book and pay to take a test either on or before day 2 after they arrive, regardless of the status of the country they are travelling from.
You are also required to fill out a passenger locator form within 48-hours of your arrival.
These rules for fully vaccinated people also apply to those under 18, whether fully vaccinated or not.
Meanwhile, if you are travelling from a red-listed country you are required to comply with the following rules, regardless of vaccination status:
- take a pre-departure COVID-19 test – to be taken in the 3 days before you travel to the UK
- book and quarantine in a specially designated hotel where you will carry out 2 COVID-19 tests
- complete your passenger locator form – any time in the 48 hours before you arrive in the UK

Is Marrakesh on the red list?
Morocco is not currently on the red list meaning that fully vaccinated travellers are simply required to take a day two test upon arrival in the UK.
To enter Morocco you must show evidence that you are fully vaccinated, or proof of a negative Covid test taken within 48-hours before boarding.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
