Can I go to Cyprus? Restrictions for UK travellers explained

The UK is following a traffic light system for travel, which means that individual countries are categorised as either green, amber or red – but what does this mean for travel to Cyprus over the coming weeks? Here’s what you need to know about rules and restrictions before you board a flight this summer.

Is Cyprus on the amber list?

Yes, which means that until 4am on Monday 19 July, the rules for travel include quarantining at home for 10 days upon return to the UK regardless of vaccination status, plus taking two PCR tests on days two and eight of isolation.

However, after 4am on 19 July, double-vaccinated British residents and citizens will be able to skip self-isolation when returning from amber list countries. However, they must still take a test before returning home, and another on day two after landing. This applies to those who have had their vaccination through the NHS or are on a formally approved UK vaccine clinical trial.
