Hi
All passengers arriving in Poland are also required to complete a Passenger Locator Form and Public Health Self-Declaration.
The public health declaration is catching me a little as it is a paper version. I assumed it would all be PDF. I assume just print and fill out.
I only yesterday evening flew to Poland. I filled this ePLF online. While checking in I submitted my vaccinations proofs as well as this form. Nothing more. Nothing was checked in Dublin. In Poland they checked my proofs but maybe they have in their computers an information about ePLF?
I'm sure been asked multiple times but can't see any clear confirmation of this
If I get a PCR in Dublin Friday morning , fly away and return Sunday evening
I can use my PCR certificate I got in Dublin to board returning flight as within 72hrs?
Thanks
That’s my plan too. Pcr booked for tomorrow evening.
I guess it takes so long to get PCR result it might negate the benefit
Probably easier to just do a 48hr trip with a near instant antigen result
Such needless friction to travel considering it's inevitable Omicron will be dominant !!
But if going somewhere that doesn’t need the result (eg UK) then just get it at the airport on the way out and then have a 2 day break without needing to go find a test centre
is nothing but theatre though, I agree with that
Has anyone trying to enter Ireland from the UK with a cert from a Home testing kit?
I bought two of the Home testing kits after researching to make sure a was buying from a reputable company but now but must have missed that they need to certified in person, bloodly frustrating!
Anyone travelling/travelled via Holyhead (ferry)? Interested to know how strict the are with checks. Travelling by car.
Just as an aside.. beware booking tests with Lloyd's Pharmacy online... they will take the bookings, but no confirmation. Will also take bookings for Lloyd's stores that are closed or don't do tests! Grrrr.
Boots - will take bookings online (and payments) before selecting the store so check which stores do the tests before doing the online booking.
Done it a good few times in the last year. They do check your certificate at the drive through booth when you check in
. wrong thread
Its 72hrs from when you took the pcr,not from when you got the result
So basically same time available as an antigen
Presume you can get the ferry from Lairne to Belfast if you want to bring your car and not have the hassle of pcr/antigen.
Flying out tonight from Vancouver to Dublin via London. Antigen test booked for a few hours before my flight, but I can't book in now until I have that...
The joys of panic and stupidity.
You can get PCR results in 4-8 hours though. Test Thursday at 6pm, results that night. Fly out Friday morning knowing you’re clear, home Sunday by 6.
You can from Gosafe in Blanch
But sure couldn't you get one before the flight anyway at Dub and have the result for your return
I passed through both Dublin Port and Airport a few times this year and the port checks were more stringent
Yeah but I’d be worried it was positive, getting it the night before means you know you will get home before you leave Dublin.
Sorry to jump in with a question that has possibly been answered multiple times.
My partner had Covid a month ago, he recovered and got the recovery cert. We are travelling to the UK on Friday, Antigen test booked on Saturday, return flight on Sunday.
Could he potentially test positive on the Antigen test? From my reading, the proof of recovery is not enough for re-entry to Ireland.
It's not impossible but I'd say it's very unlikely from antigen.
PCR it's more likely, but antigen *should* be OK.
Take one pre emptively before you leave to get some reassurance...or change your return flight to Belfast.
Here we go again. Fúck right off Tony.

Shower of absolute fookers! I am so sick of this sh!te. Due to head to canaries end of month, so sick of all the loops, hoops and now kite flying.
With negative tests needed now to arrive in Ireland, what would be the point of restricting people who don't have Covid?
Any more rules would be lunacy I agree.
Trying to organise a 36 hour trip to the UK using the ferry next week, can't seem to find a reasonably priced Antigen test to allow me back into Ireland during the 48hr window. And I'm not able to get a test on the other side as I literally have no time to waste trying to get to a test centre as there are none where I'm staying.
Any comments welcome,
"The EU minister said, for now, the only tool to increase vaccinations across Europe is the update of the COVID-19 digital certificate, which will make travel inside the EU impossible for unvaccinated citizens.
The Commission has proposed that certificates will only be valid if a third dose is taken within nine months after the second."
"A final decision is due at a Coreper meeting next week, and the new scheme is expected to enter into force as of February 2022."
There doesn't seem to be anything in that article really about suspending non essential international travel. The plea this time last year was for people to not travel, then they outright banned it with financial penalties. I doubt with vaccines that people will adhere to more of the same this year. We have international travel agreements and rules in place already. As it is you already need a negative test to travel and in the very near future will also need to be vaccinated. I would see serious push back even if it was recommended. The likelihood is we probably have 100s of cases of Omicron here already.
Where are you getting the Ferry back from?
I'm curious about this too. Planning to travel from the UK just before Christmas. I have previously used at-home/self-administered antigen tests when returning to the UK from various destinations, which have always worked well: take the test, upload documentation, certificate issued. Much less hassle, especially once I found a reliable company.
On a previous occasion I attended a clinic in the UK who administered an antigen test & sent me the certificate. I recently compared the certs of the at-home test, and the clinic test. Nowhere on the clinic certificate does it mention that it was administered by a healthcare worker. Both certs had all the same information (specificity, time taken etc.), both were 'signed' by a doctor, and gave an address of the company. So how do the people at the Irish border tell the difference? Is it simply the 'clinic' in the name of the company issuing the cert that gives the assumption it was administered by a HCP? I'll need to book the tests soon and it's all as clear as mud.
Its Holyhead.
Might be silly question but how do you generate a certificate from a home testing kit that you buy in a pharmacy or Aldi?
You cant to the best of my knowledge, it has to be an official test.
