Passenger locator form rules for Spain, France, Turkey, Greece, Italy and Cyprus

Ever since travel resumed in the coronavirus pandemic, Brits travelling abroad have been required to fill-in passenger locator forms. But as restrictions are relaxed across the world, some European countries no longer tell every arrival to complete one.

The forms are usually quick to fill in and are completed before boarding. Some countries require all travellers to fill one in, others only ask travellers who are not fully vaccinated to do so, and others - including countries popular with British tourists - have scrapped them.

Below are the passenger locator form rules for tourists heading to Spain, France, Turkey, Greece, Italy and Cyprus.

Spain

Tourists from the UK do not need to fill in a passenger locator form to go to Spain if they are fully vaccinated, have recovered from Covid-19 in the last six months, or are under 12 years old. Everybody else must complete Spain's Travel Health Control form. The form must be submitted no more than 48 hours before travelling to Spain. You can access the form here.

France

Passengers from the UK do not routinely have to fill in a passenger locator form. However, they "may" be asked to complete one before boarding their flight, the Foreign and Commonwealth Office states.

The form can be filled in here.

Turkey

UK tourists aged six and over have to complete Turkey's online entry form within 72 hours before they travel. You can find the form here.

Greece

Passengers heading to Greece are no longer required to complete a locator form. Greece scrapped the requirement on March 15.

Italy

Tourists do not have to fill in a passenger locator form before entering Italy. The requirement to fill in the form was dropped for visitors on May 1.

Cyprus

The requirement for tourists to fill in a locator form before travelling to the Republic of Cyprus was scrapped on April 18.
