Travelling in Ireland without being fully vaccinated (after 19 July)

Hi all!
My partner and I want to visit Dublin (from the Netherlands) on the week of 26 July but we’ll only have our first Pfizer shots by then. According to the current plan, it seems like the country will open up from the 19th of July for travel, so as long as we a get a negative test we can enter the country.

My question is whether we’ll be admitted into restaurants, bars and museums then with only 1 vaccination shot?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Katty,

There are many changes to travel from the 19th of July with the introduction of the EU Digital Covid Certificate (DCC). Please check our traveller health page for some details.

There have not been any details on the use of the DCC for entry to tourism locations as it was always designed as a travel certificate of vaccination status. All tourism locations are following the current health guidelines regarding masks and social distancing, bars and restaurants are open for outdoor dining only still.

There may well be more changes before you arrive, the best p[place to stay up to date is with our traveller health page as we update the information as soon as it is official.

Best wishes,

Martin
