I am fully vaccinated and I am flying to Ireland. Is it still necessary to have a Covid test 72 hours before arrival in Ireland by plane?

Hi,

Good question. The short answer is yes, you will still require a negative PCR test. Providing the health situation stays on course, the changes due to take place from the 19th of July will go ahead as planned.

If you are travelling from the UK or US you may enter Ireland without quarantine if you have proof of full vaccination. You will also need to complete a COVID-19 Passenger Locator Form (PLF).

All passengers are also required to have a negative/‘not detected’ result from a pre-departure COVID-19 Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) test (only this kind of test is acceptable) taken within 72 hours prior to arrival in Ireland. Passengers will be asked to present evidence of their negative/‘not detected’ result before boarding their airplane or ferry; and will be required to produce this evidence to immigration officers on arrival at points of entry to the State. Children aged six and under are exempt from this requirement.

You can find more detailed information and links to official guidance on the travellers health page.

Best,

Sean
