From 6 March 2022, travellers to Ireland are no longer required to show proof of vaccination, recovery or a negative PCR test upon arrival. There is also no longer any requirement to complete a COVID-19 Passenger Locator Form prior to departing for Ireland. 

This action was taken due to the current epidemiological situation in Ireland and high levels of vaccine uptake which present the opportunity for changes in the management of COVID-19. The removal of these Covid travel requirements also decreases obstacles for people leaving Ukraine and neighbouring countries for Ireland.
