GOVERNMENTS around the world are relaxing their Covid rules – making it easier for Brits to hop on a plane and jet off on their hols.

All Covid tests for vaccinated travellers returning to the UK have been scrapped, so if you visit a country that doesn't require an entry test, you can travel completely test free.

We've rounded up the 53 countries that don't require any additional testing from vaccinated Brits, so if you're double jabbed and boosted you can get in with no hassle.

Croatia

To enter Croatia, Brits just need to prove they have had a vaccination that isn't more than a year old.

Children under 12 are exempt if their parent or guardian is vaccinated.

Cyprus

Vaccinated Brits can enter Cyprus with proof of a valid vaccine certificate.

To be fully vaccinated, Brits have to have had their second jab less than nine months ago, or had their booster jab since.

Kids under 12 are exempt from all testing requirements.

Czech Republic

Brits need to have had both vaccines and a booster to enter the Czech Republic without needing any tests.

Your final dose must have been administered more than 14 days prior to travel.

If you have had two jabs but no booster then you will need proof of a negative pre-departure test to enter.

Denmark

Fully vaccinated Brits travelling to Denmark can enter without needing a Covid test or isolating.

You just need proof of being fully vaccinated at least 14 days before arriving.

Dubai

Vaccinated Brits no longer need to have a negative PCR test to enter Dubai.

Face mask rules have also changed in Dubai – they are now optional outdoors although are still mandatory at indoor public spaces.

Egypt

Egypt is a popular choice for Brits hoping to lap up some winter sun while avoiding a long-haul flight.

Brits who are double jabbed can jet off to Egypt with no need to do any additional tests.

Children under the age of six are exempt.

Finland

From today, Finland has ditched the requirement for vaccinated Brits to take a pre-departure PCR test in order to enter.

Brits will be granted entry as long as they can prove they are fully vaccinated and at least seven days have passed since their last dose.

Alternatively, people who can prove they've had one dose of the vaccine and that they have recovered from Covid will also be allowed to enter Finland.

France

Vaccinated Brits no longer need to present a negative PCR or antigen test result before travelling to France, after a last-minute change just before half term.

To enter, fully vaccinated travellers aged 12 and over must show proof of vaccination and sign a statement confirming you're not suffering with any Covid symptoms.

However, if your second jab was more than 270 days ago, you won't be allowed in unless you've had a booster.

Children under 12 are exempt from all Covid travel restrictions, but must still complete a sworn statement.

Germany

Germany lifted its UK travel ban last month – just weeks after it was introduced.

Now, Brits aged six and above can enter Germany if they are vaccinated, as long as the second jab was administered more than 14 days prior.

Greece

Earlier this month, Greece scrapped its requirement for vaccinated Brits to show evidence of a negative Covid test.

Greece still has strict rules when it comes to face masks, with everyone having to wear them in all indoor and public spaces.

Hungary

Vaccinated Brits can enter Hungary without needing a negative Covid test.

Under 18s who are unvaccinated can enter Hungary if they are travelling with a vaccinated adult.

Iceland

Iceland has lifted all of its Covid travel restrictions, including for unvaccinated Brits.

Last month Minister of Health, Willum Thór Thórsson confirmed that "all public restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic will be lifted, both domestically and at the border".

Italy

Vaccinated Brits can enter Italy without needing to provide a evidence of a negative Covid test.

Like in Cyprus, Brits must have been vaccinated within the last nine months or had their booster jab to be considered vaccinated.

Lithuania

Brits who have been vaccinated do not need to provide evidence of a negative Covid test to enter Lithuania.

But unvaccinated Brits are required to show proof of a negative test and self-isolate for 10 days on arrival.

Malta

Most Brits visiting Malta do not need to do a Covid test if they are vaccinated.

However, unvaccinated children aged between five and 11 do need a Covid test to enter if they are travelling with a vaccinated adult.

Children under five do not need a test.

Mexico

Mexico is a great destination if you're looking to soak up some winter sun, with temperatures in Cancun reaching a whopping 32.2C in February.

Vaccinated Brits don't need to do a Covid test to enter, so if you want to head off for some hot weather, you can do so.

Norway

Vaccinated Brits must complete an online registration form and show proof of vaccination to enter Norway.

Your second dose must have been administered at least seven days before travelling.

Portugal

Fully vaccinated Brits can enter mainland Portugal, Madeira and Porto Santo without needing a test.

If you caught Covid after one dose of a two-dose vaccine, you'll be considered fully vaccinated and still allowed to enter Portugal.

Slovenia

Vaccinated Brits can enter Slovenia without the need for any additional Covid testing.

Travellers must complete a passenger locator form 24 hours before arriving.

Spain

Brits heading to popular tourist destination Spain can enter if they are fully vaccinated.

Spain will only permit Brits to enter if they can prove they were fully vaccinated against Covid within the last 270 days.

All adults who received their second dose more than nine months ago, which is before mid-May, 2021, must have had a booster jab to be allowed in.

The booster must have been given more than 14 days before travelling.

Sweden

Vaccinated Brits can enter Sweden for any purpose without needing to test or self-isolate.

At least two weeks must have passed since your second dose.

Switzerland

Fully vaccinated Brits can enter Switzerland without needing to test or self-isolate.

Switzerland has placed a nine-month expiration date on vaccine certificates.

That means that those Brits who received their second dose before May 2021 won't be allowed in unless they've had their booster jab.

Tunisia

From today, vaccinated Brits no longer need to provide a negative test before arriving in Tunisia.

The Tunisian Embassy in London said vaccinated Brits can skip testing "if they can present a certificate to prove they have been fully vaccinated or a vaccine pass".

Turkey

If you're fully vaccinated you can enter Turkey without needing to test or quarantine.

All arrivals into Turkey will be subject to a medical evaluation for Covid symptoms and may be subject to random PCR testing.
