International travellers will no longer need to supply Covid-19 documentation on arrival into Ireland after Minister for Health Stephen Donnelly signed regulations to end the requirements from midnight on Saturday.
Up to now, passengers arriving in Ireland were obliged to fill out a Passenger Locator Form, detailing where they would be staying for the purposes of contact tracing and isolating.
Along with the form, the need to show proof of immunity/vaccination, or a negative Covid test taken shortly before arrival in the State will also end.
I’ve just signed the regulations removing the Covid requirements for incoming international passengers (Passenger Locator Form, proof of vaccine status / test). These were the last remaining Covid regs. Effective from midnight tonight. Another step forward in our Covid efforts. pic.twitter.com/dACL1LULem
