Croatia and Portugal have updated their COVID-19 entry requirements as Brits flock to the holiday hotspots for this summer travel.

The UK Foreign Travel Advice has issued advice to travellers as airlines continue to struggle with the return of summer travel and the ongoing impact of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Whether you’re on route for a relaxing romantic escape with a partner, an active trip with friends or a fun budget break for the whole family, here are the rules you should be aware of so you don’t get caught out.

We have rounded up the travel rules for jetting off to these dreamy destinations as we head into the summer season to take the stress out of your trip.

Croatia’s entry requirements are the same for all travellers regardless of your COVID-19 vaccination status. The face mask mandates in Croatia have recently been relaxed and while you are not required to wear a mask in indoor settings, you are still recommended to do so in large gatherings.

Although not part of the Schengen Area, Croatia applies Schengen rules of entry. If you have been banned from any of the 27 countries within the Schengen Area (including Austria, Belgium, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece and more), you will be denied entry.
