Pakistan in the amber list, Previously: The UK placed Pakistan on the Covid red list on 2 April 2021 as the Covid situation worsened. This meant that the travelers coming from a red-list country had to take covid-19 test before travel and then quarantine for 10 days in a managed hotel for £2,285 per person after arrival.
Details: On 17 September UK government announced that Pakistan will come off the red list from September 22, 2021, at 4 am. Albeit good news, it comes with its own requirement.
Rules for Travelers from Amber List Countries:
- Take a coronavirus test before travel (irrespective of the vaccination status).
- Take a COVID-19 test on or before day-2 after the arrival.
- No requirement for quarantining in a government-designated hotel.
Vaccinations approved by the UK Government:
- Moderna vaccine
- Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine
- Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine
