That is currently. For Germany and some other countries, it’s 6 years and older.
Yeah peak season prices for popular holiday spots is higher than normal.
If you have had a booster you don't need any test to go to Prague
If only double vaccinated, you need a test
You've 3 jabs so no test required ,just the dcc and plf
I've a friend just back
Daughter travelling to Italy tomorrow. ReopenEU says vax cert is sufficient. But recent email from Swineair reads that a neg PCR / antigen is required. Anyone confirm please ?
A negative test is no longer required for Italy from 1 February.
Is a proof of recovery cert enough to access everything in france?
Option of a negative test is clearly gone but not as clear whether the recovery cert is any good
Happily surprised to read this, I am sure you also need to test and test at the border, so who is going to risk such a huge flight ? - apart from the rich and Novak Djokovic ...
still , small step in the right direction
Nope according to friends in Australia it's double vaccinated only, no test. That's what's being reported over there anyway.
Keep in mind though that various states in Australia can implement their own rules, such as Western Australia doesn't look like it'll fully reopen
Apart from 99.9% of the population, at least up here in Barcelona....
Portugal is lifting ridiculous preflight testing requirements.
I think all EU countries have dropped the testing requirement for vaccinated people now. Norway also no longer require a test on arrival.
Iceland is the only Western European country that still requires tests.
People who are not boosted will still need a negative test to enter other EU Countries once they go past 270 days after second dose. Applies to Age 12+.
Both our Kids (aged 12-15) will be past 270 days before we are due to go on holidays so will need negative tests to travel as no Boosters available to under-16s.
Sweden is scrapping all travel restrictions for EU/EEA travellers. So there is no longer a need to show a DCC.

Depends where you are.
I live in Cordoba and it's rare to see people without masks. and uou ger checked for certs if you want to sit down inside anywhere.
I was down in Valencia city at the weekend (iirc you live in that neck of the woods) and I'd say it was about fifty-fifty on the streets and only got asked for a Covid cert in one out of the six or seven places I ate in (indoors).
Don't know what the difference is as to why the behaviour isn't the same.
Thanks for that. I had been wondering if it was possible for any of the EU Countries to decide unilaterally not to have the EU DCC in operation for entry to their own Country.
Interesting. While a little better in the cities, mask wearing in C. Valenciana outdoors is low
We're travelling to Prague in two weeks, would it be advisable to get travel insurance, or indeed is there any point? Just thinking if either of us got the virus and had to quarantine, would travel insurance cover such a thing, Im thinking no but I might be wrong. We're both full vaxxed and boosted.
I’m with alliance and it covers us if we test positive before travel.
does it cover ye if you test positive whilst abroad and have to quarantine, ie. will it cover those costs, hotel/airbnb etc?
I've been looking into this. Any new policies with VHI Multitrip and the other, similarly named Multitrip.com, will give you money back for having to put up abroad if you can't travel home.
great, thanks for that, I'm not with VHI but with Laya, must look into this to see if they have something similar. Im an SNA and work in a secondary school and we have no idea how many cases in the school, we haven't been away in so long and my biggest fear is testing positive and having to fork out for quarantine in Prague. we're only going for four days so I'd like to be covered in case it happens. thanks again
Yes, Allianz covers you for this.
Guys the planned changes this Friday for the UK are we exempt within the CTA?
Yeah covers hotels, flights etc and my Irish life health policy covers medical stuff
So long as you've not been outside the CTA in the last 10 days.
Nothing changing for us, as it has been throughout
Thanks Stephen
Is a PLF necessary for Holland ?
All I can find is some declaration that passengers need to fill out and sign...
Is that all that's needed apart from EU digital covid pass ?
Interesting, most countries that have a 9 month expiration date on passes say the 9 months is only for the 2nd dose, that for now at least the booster has no expiration.
Not France though, this is a scary step, are we supposed to get boosters every 9 months now ? especially with the changing situation with omicron etc ?
Haven't the WHO even said that yearly boosters aren't a good idea for the immune system ?
Thats the same as everywhere else. Primary vaccination course is 2 doses with a 9 month validation from the 1st of February as per the EU guidelines. It's applied here for entry into the country as well.
"Since February 1, 2022, in order to continue to be considered as fully vaccinated, persons aged eighteen or over wishing to enter the national territory must have received a dose of complementary messenger RNA vaccine no later than nine months following the injection of the last required dose,”
That quote in the article you linked is also the requirement to enter ireland on a vaccine cert.
Your reading it wrong assuming it gives a booster validity of 9 months, it doesn't.
The article is a bit misleading to be honest given what it's saying applies in other member states including Ireland since 1st February
In other places it specifically states that the booster dose has no expiration, check NL, ES etc ...
France so far is the only one that specifcally states 9 months since last dose - regardless...
From NL site
From 1 February 2022 a Digital COVID Certificate (DCC) based on proof of vaccination is valid for 270 days after you received the final dose of your primary vaccination. From 8 February 2022 paper proof of vaccination is also valid for 270 days.
Getting a booster vaccination extends the validity of your proof of vaccination. You can travel to the Netherlands with the new proof of vaccination.
