From today, the online Passenger Locator Form will be upgraded to complement the travel measures introduced from 19 July. In particular, the enhanced Passenger Locator Form will support the implementation of the EU Digital COVID Certificate.
The lifting of restrictions on non-essential travel allows certain passengers to travel without the requirement to quarantine or provide further tests based on their vaccination, recovery or RT-PCR test status. The changes to the Passenger Locator Form captures this information and helps to ensure that passengers have a clearer understanding of what documentation is accepted to avoid public health restrictions upon arrival to Ireland.
Changes to the Passenger Locator Form include:
With the increase in travel numbers to Ireland, these enhancements to the Passenger Locator Form will support the management of passengers presenting the health documentation required for travel purposes – the Digital COVID Certificate or other alternative proofs of vaccination or test results, and effectively provide targeted public health messaging to incoming passengers to ensure the return to non-essential travel is safe for all.
the Passenger Locator Form must be completed online pre-departure 72 hours prior to departure
