News: Travel outside Bulgaria under Covid-19 conditions
In view of the dynamic situation with the distribution of Covid-19 and the opening of a new version of Omiron, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs recommends that Bulgarian citizens be supported by the trip. Still, if you have to travel abroad, then keep that in mind the current regime for entry into the country, as well as anti-epidemic measures on its territory. Here are the changes that some countries have introduced in recent days:
Great Britain abolished the mandatory Covid vaccination test when entering the country. On January 7, the authorities changed the arrival regime of the countries on the first red list, including Bulgaria. The mandatory coronavirus test, which was before entering the country for all vaccinated citizens, as well as for those under 18 years of age, has been abolished. Remains in place of the requirement for a negative Covid-19 test result up to two days after entering England. This test may also be antigenic, not as achieved by PCR alone.
Ireland abolished the requirement to present a negative PCR test on entry into the country of holders of a valid European digital COVID certificate with effect from 06 January 2022. From that date, on arrival in Ireland, citizens must present either the digital certificate in question or proof of negative PCR test performed not earlier than 72 hours before arrival.
Children under the age of 11 are exempt from the testing requirements.
There remains a sufficient requirement to complete PassengerLocatorForm before arrival.
Indonesia introduced additional restrictions on travel to the country as of January 7. According to these data, entry into Indonesia is temporarily banned or transit citizenship is transferred to foreign nationals, visited in the last 14 days or arrives directly from: South Africa, Botswana, Angola, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Swaziland, Lesotho , Norway, Great Britain, France and Denmark.
We remind you that all foreigners entering the territory of Indonesia should present a certificate of vaccination against COVID-19 as proof of completed vaccination in two doses. This requirement does not apply to children under 12 years of age.
Also, foreign nationals arriving in the Republic of Indonesia should present a negative PCR test performed up to 72 hours before entering the country.
Nevertheless, a new PCR test is performed twice more after performing the page. One is within 24 hours after the sixth season, and the other – the day before the end of the mandatory quarantine period of 7 days.
Kosovo tightened the regime of entry into the country in the conditions of coronavirus. As of 3 January 2022, citizens wishing to visit Kosovo must submit a full vaccination cycle certificate. The measure does not apply to persons under 12 years of age, transit passengers, diplomats and other categories.
The Embassy of the Republic of Bulgaria in Jordan called on Bulgarian citizens to no take a trip to the country. In connection with the introduction of the second mandatory PCR test on entry into Jordan on 12 December 2021, which is charged at the Jordanian air / land border and the frequent cases of follow-up tests on arrival, our Embassy in Amman temporarily recommends travel only when necessary. . In case of a positive test at the airport, it is necessary to place a quarantine below 14 days and a PCR test at the end of the quarantine at your own expense, which is recommended for Bulgarian citizens.
We remind you that Bulgarian citizens traveling to Jordan, regardless of whether they have been vaccinated or not, require a certificate for a negative PCR test performed within 72 hours of the result. Online payment for a second PCR test (cost 20 Jordanian dinars / approx. $ 28) is also required, by completing the declaration and independently registering a QR code for everyone, whether or not they have been vaccinated. The second test is charged at the airport upon arrival.
