Where can I travel?
The UK government has announced that travel can resume under a traffic light system with different requirements applying depending on whether the destination visited is categorised as ‘green’, ‘amber’ or ‘red’. More information can be found here
The UK government traffic light system is applicable only for your return to England and each country will also have its own entry requirements. Make sure you have familiarised yourself with these requirements before you travel at the FCDO website here or speak to your travel specialist for more details.
