From 04:00 on Monday 18 January all passengers arriving to England and Scotland must present a negative COVID-19 test taken within a 72-hour period before departure to be able to board a flight and granted entry to the UK on arrival. There is currently no such requirement for Wales or Northern Ireland.
Gibraltar also requires testing, however there is a facility for testing on arrival at Gibraltar airport using its fast 1-hour service.
Marine crew travelling with a valid seaman’s book (SID) will be exempt from this. Seafarers due to work on a vessel or who need to transit the UK to join or leave a vessel should show a valid Seafarer’s Identification Document (SID) and do not need to present a negative COVID-19 result test prior to departure.
Offshore oil and gas workers need to take a coronavirus test before traveling. However, if they hold a valid SID, they could be deemed as a seafarer.
Crewing departments and/or travelers are urged to check with their local travel agent or airline on exact requirements to board a flight and be granted entry into the UK. Every airport may be operating slightly differently, so although seafarers would be legally granted access into the UK with relevant SID they could still potentially be stopped from boarding their flight if they don’t have a negative test.
