Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

A subject surely deserving of its own thread.
I think the list is currently looking like this:
- Germany (ish)
- Scotland
- Greece
- Sweden
I've been meaning to try a Greek ski trip for a while - may have no other choice this winter!

Don’t we need two lists
1. Countries that require you to quarantine on arrival when you visit
2. Countries that you have to quarantine when returning from when arriving back in the UK

I’m not worried about quarantining for two weeks on returning to the UK but a 2 week quarantine on arriving in France for example would block a trip.

I am due to fly to Munich in December and then travel through Austria to ski in Italy.
All possible if I produce a negative test in the Uk within a certain time period before I arrive in Germany / Italy. For Germany it is currently 48 hours before I arrive in Munich. For Italy it is 72 hours.
Or I can take a test on arrival at Munich Airport.
There are currently no quarantine restrictions on return to the UK from either country.
If I actually stop in Austria (which means if I get out of the hire car) then it is different. But if I just use Austria as a “transit” country then no additional restrictions.
So it all hangs on me providing a negative test in the 48 hours before I fly to Munich or on arrival at the airport.
It’s a chance I am prepared to take

I am going to Italy in the second week of Nov but need ,72 hours before travel, a NEGATIVE molecular (PCR) or antigen test. There is also an option to arrive and get tested within 48 hours of arrival subject to quarantine until test results.
I always travel to Verona Airport which currently has no testing available at the Airport although there is talk this will change in the coming weeks/months.

It is not possible to get tests for travel on the NHS.

I definitely want to have the test before I travel just in case I am positive (or the test shows a false positive) even though I know I can test locally for €35.

The PCR tests I have seen advertised privately in the South East range from £150 -220 for test results within 48-76 hours rising to £450 for guaranteed 24 hours and £800 for same day !!!!!!!!!!

The rapid antigen test (widely used in Italy) is much quicker (15 mins) and cheaper but there are very few tests of this type available in the UK . I think I have found one which is £95 but am awaiting an email confirmation.

I will post the providers names when I get email confirmation of the costs.

If anyone knows of anywhere in the South East that does private rapid antigen tests please post as this will be the quickest and cheapest way to get tested to meet Italy's entry requirements.

Yes. It’s a journey I have done many times and so far I have not made any unscheduled stops in the short trip from the border near Rosenheim to the Brenner Pass. We have sometimes chosen to have a break on this stretch but not this trip.

Slovenia?

The Slovenian authorities have implemented a Red, Amber, Green list to determine the requirements for people arriving into Slovenia. If you are arriving into Slovenia from a country on the Amber or Red list, you may have to quarantine for 10 days.
As of 28 September, the UK is on the Amber List. However the exemption in place for anyone arriving from an EU/Schengen country that is on the Amber List, also applies to those arriving from the UK, until 31 December 2020. Therefore, if you are entering Slovenia from the UK before 31 December 2020, you will not be required to quarantine (see Entry requirements for more details).
Health checks may be conducted at all border entry points. If you display signs of coronavirus infections you will be refused entry, unless you hold a permanent residence permit for Slovenia.

At the moment you only need to quarantine upon your return to the UK (not in Austria). However the situation is more likely to change before January than to remain the same.

II.2 ENTRY FROM WITHIN THE EU, THE SCHENGEN AREA, SELECT SMALL EUROPEAN NATIONS AND THE UNITED KINGDOM
Individuals entering Austria from a EU member state, the Schengen Area, or from Andorra, Monaco, San Marino, Vatican City, or the United Kingdom must present a medical certificate (to the immigration officer) confirming a negative molecular-biological SARS-CoV-2 test; THE TEST MUST NOT BE older than 72 hours at the time of entry (certificate in German / English).

EVEN WITH A NEGATIVE TEST, individuals will have to quarantine for TEN days at home (self-monitored) or at an appropriate accommodation which must not be left for the duration of the quarantine. Individuals are responsible for covering the cost of the quarantine accommodation. The quarantine CANNOT BE ENDED BY a negative molecular-biological test conducted and presented during the quarantine; at the time of entry into Austria, a confirmation of the availability of an appropriate accommodation to the individual must be presented. The obligation to quarantine must be reconfirmed by personal signature. INDIVIDUALS WHO CANNOT PROVIDE BOTH THE MEDICAL CERTIFICATE AS WELL AS THE CONFIRMED AVAILABILITY OF THE APPROPRIATE ACCOMMODATION WILL BE DENIED ENTRY INTO AUSTRIA.

Exceptions apply i.a. for:
• Austrian/EU/EEA/Swiss citizens and their US-Family members (e.g. spouses, children, parents) living in the same household
• Holders of a D visa or residence permit issued by Austria
• PERSONS WITH A RESIDENCE IN AUSTRIA (i.e. HOLDERS OF A “MELDEZETTEL”)
• Holders of a diplomatic “legitimation card” issued by Austria

However, any Austrian, EU, EEA or Swiss citizen or any person for whom the above exceptions apply will only be allowed to enter Austria upon presentation of a medical certificate confirming a negative molecular-biological SARS-CoV-2 test, unless their immediate departure from Austria is secured. The certificate must be issued by a licensed medical practitioner in German or English and THE TEST must not be older than THREE days at the time of entry.

Austrian, EU, EEA or Swiss citizen or any person for whom the above exceptions apply who cannot produce the required medical certificate will be subject to a TEN-day quarantine at home (self-monitored) or at an appropriate location that must not be left for the duration of the quarantine. Accommodation costs have to be covered by the individual; at the time of entry into Austria, a confirmation of the availability of such an accommodation to the individual must be presented and reconfirmed by personal signature of the individual. In case a molecular-biological test conducted during the quarantine yields a negative result, the quarantine ends and the location can be left.

TRANSIT THROUGH AUSTRIA (WITHOUT TESTING/QUARANTINE RESTRICTIONS) IS POSSIBLE ONLY IF IMMEDIATE DEPARTURE IS SECURED.

Individuals who enter Austria from one of the following states (list A1) and have their residence in Austria or one of the following states:
Andorra, Australia, Belgium, Czech Republic (except the region of Prague), Denmark, Germany, Estonia, Finland, France (except the regions of Paris/Île-de-France and Provence-Alpes-Cote d’Azur), Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Iceland, Italy, Japan, Kanada, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Monaco, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal (except the regions of Lisbon and Norte), Republic of Korea (South Korea), San Marino, Sweden, Switzerland, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain (Canary Islands only), Uruguay, Vatican City, United Kingdom, and Cyprus, do not have to present the medical certificate and are not subject to a quarantine if they can prove that they were not present in any other state than Austria and the states listed above within the last TEN days.

ANY TRAVELER ENTERING OR TRANSITING THROUGH AUSTRIA WILL NEED TO COMPLETE AN ENTRY AND TRANSIT DECLARATION (GERMAN/ENGLISH)

@VolklAttivaS5, I think the thought process is that some isolation that happens is better than none at all, which would be the case otherwise without the rule - for much of the rules it comes down to honesty really.

Of course the returning people don’t have symptoms and others are as likely to catch the virus from the local pub.
