Under the current public health travel measures, travellers arriving into Ireland from 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 public health travel measures currently apply to all overseas arrivals, even vaccinated persons, with limited exemptions.
These travel measures are kept under continuous review based on public health advice and the international epidemiological situation.
