Under the current public health travel measures, travellers arriving into Ireland from all overseas are required to complete a COVID-19 Passenger Locator Form, to present evidence of a negative / non-detected pre-departure RT-PCR test taken within 72 hours of arrival and to observe mandatory quarantine. These measures are currently required for all overseas arrivals, even vaccinated persons.

International travel policy is kept under continuous consideration and Government is responding proactively to balancing the risks associated with increased travel with the re-opening of society and non-essential overseas travel.

All adults who enter the State from abroad are subject to the Government's current travel restrictions upon arrival, unless exempted.

As of May 28th, persons arriving from France are no longer automatically subject to Mandatory Hotel Quarantine. However, they are still subject to other travel restrictions such as home quarantine, supplying passenger locator form information and ensuring they have evidence of a negative RT-PCR test conducted within the 72 hours prior to their arrival in Ireland.
