Ireland is also making a small U-turn in terms of immigration policy. Accordingly, fully vaccinated and recovered travelers no longer need to present an additional PCR test.

Vaccinated or recovered travelers must therefore present a valid digital Covid certificate or other acceptable proof of vaccination or previous infection when entering Ireland. In addition, a PCR test had to be presented upon entry. With this relaxation, this obligation no longer applies. “We're delighted to be able to welcome travelers back to Ireland without the need to test fully vaccinated visitors before they leave,” said Julie Wakley, Tourism Ireland's UK director. This means that travel between Great Britain and Ireland without tests and quarantine is also possible, as About Travel reports.

However, travelers who have not been vaccinated or have recovered will still be required to provide evidence of a PCR test performed no more than 72 hours prior to their arrival in Ireland. In addition, all visitors must fill out a passenger location form. The country applies the 3G rule to entry requirements. Thus, travelers who have not been vaccinated / who have not recovered do not have to fear quarantine if they can present a valid PCR test.
