The E/U are saying ,they are preparing to accept tourists from........ "Third Countries"..... i/e UK .
Are they saying the UK is now a third World Country since Brexit ?.

[jno]

more than 12 weeks, obviously. When does "weeks" become "months"?

Gilliver - do you ever give up?

Gully if you don't know the difference between Third Countries and Third World Countries then I would suggest you keep your ignorance to yourself instead of letting everyone know (no change there then).

I have jut downloaded my 'covid pass', waiting for NHS confirmation. Mr U did his a couple of days ago, it comes up as a QR code.

That says the app will be ready LAST March.
It isn’t.
Perhaps the Indian variant or other event have delayed it.
And we are restricted to just a few destinations that we can go to.
A passport might be useful in several months when we can go to more countries, but at the moment it is useless.

That is not necessarily a good thing. And could be a fatal loophole. In that instance third country means somewhere other than the A to B traveller. Someone from a third country, for example Turkey with high Covid could travel to Spain and the use their Covid passport to fly to the UK. I’m not sure we want that.

You've wasted your time.

Mrs NJ and I are both double jabbed. The UK government knows this because they have provided us (via the NHS app) with verification. We also have that verification in the form of a letter, in case the app doesn't work where we need it. To travel to (say) Portugal - a "Green" country - your evidence of vaccination (either from the app or on paper) will be accepted by the authorities there and you will be allowed to enter. However, to satisfy the UK authorities you will have to take a PCR test before you leave and book a test which must take place within three days of your return.

What's the relevance of an article that is three month old?

[ubasses]

I am fully aware of all that New Judge, and the earliest I am planning to travel is October to stay with friends. Hopefully things will have improved by then.
