When will Coronavirus travel restrictions be lifted? Each country’s approach to travel is changing on a caseby-case basis. Generally, domestic and international travel bans are being lifted once the number of corona virus cases have plateaued or begin to decline. Below, we list the countries that are now planning to ease lockdown measures. French President Emanuel Macron has announced that foreign tourists, including those from the US, can return to France in May if they have been vaccinated. Cyprus has announced that travellers from some EU, EEA countries and the UK can do not need to quarantine on arrival if they can provide proof of vaccination, as of May 10. In Denmark borders could reopen on May 11 while Germany has closed borders to tourists from high-risk countries until May 12. The tourism minister for Greece has announced that the country will reopen borders from May 14. It has been confirmed that the Greek Government will bear the cost of any medical attention required by tourists who catch the virus during their holiday in the country. Travel abroad for UK citizens is currently forbidden except for neccessary purposes, meaning that Brits will only be allowed to travel for staycation holidays within the country’s common travel area which includes Ireland, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man. Travellers unable to offer an accepted reason for international travel could be fined up to £5,000. The earliest date that this rule could be eased is 17 May. Austria is in a state of lockdown but plans to ease hospitality and travel restrictions by May 19. Travel to the US and the islands of Hawaii is still banned indefinitely for anyone travelling from China, Iran, Brazil, the UK, and any Schengen countries. The border closure between Canada and Mexico could be reopened from May 21.
