VISITING THE ISLE OF - KEY THINGS TO KNOW (CLICK HERE)
If you are travelling from the UK, Ireland or Channel Islands and are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 (meaning that you have had both doses, which have been administered in the Common Travel Area, and two weeks have passed since the second dose), we are delighted to be able to welcome you back to our extraordinary Island from 28th June, with no restrictions or quarantine required.
Like many other destinations at this time, we are mindful of changes that are happening beyond our shores and we must remain vigilant to protect our residents and our visitors. For this reason, travel to the Island will remain temporarily prohibited to visitors who are not fully vaccinated and/or have travelled outside of the UK, Ireland or Channel Islands in the 10 days preceding arrival on the Isle of Man.
To help make holiday preparation simple for guests able to visit from the 28th June, we have made a helpful infographic highlighting the key things to know.
Prior to Booking
Ahead of booking, we suggest contacting your travel insurance provider to fully understand what your insurance covers and reading the booking terms and conditions of any travel, accommodation, activity, attraction, eatery etc. you wish to make a booking with to ensure you are content with their booking, cancellation and flexibility terms.
In the event that you test positive for COVID-19 whilst visiting the Isle of Man, you and your party will be guided by the COVID-19 111 Team with regards to the requirements for testing and isolating.
Before Departure
All visitors must complete a Landing Form within 48 hours prior to arrival; this includes completing a separate form for each child travelling (ages 0-17).

Here, you will be required to upload evidence that you are fully vaccinated (meaning that you have had both doses, which have been administered in the Common Travel Area), with two weeks passed since the second dose. This can be a screengrab of your NHS app, a photo/scan of your vaccination card or an eligible vaccination proof letter/certificate.
Please note that you will require ID upon arrival, this can include a passport, driving licence or an official ID card.
It is advised to check with your airline or ferry provider to see if there are any measures in place whilst in the ports or on board (e.g. mandatory wearing of face masks).
On Arrival
If you are fully vaccinated (meaning that you have had both doses, which have been administered in the Common Travel Area) with two weeks passed since the second dose, and have not travelled outside of the UK, including Northern Ireland, Jersey, and Guernsey in the 10 days prior to travel to the Isle of Man, you will not be required to take a test or quarantine upon arrival.
If you are travelling with children between 5 – 17 years old who are not fully vaccinated, they will be subject to a “test and release” pathway costing £30 per child. For this pathway, each child must have a COVID-19 PCR test within 48 hours of arrival, and isolate until they receive a negative result. You are able to isolate in a shared space (such as your hotel room) with them but are otherwise unaffected by their isolation period. If they are still in the Isle of Man on day six, they will also be required to take another test for ongoing monitoring and assurance purposes. Children aged four and under are exempt from any testing and self-isolation.
Once you have completed a landing form for your child, you will receive an email with a link to pre-book their COVID-19 test. Alternatively you will be able to book by calling the 111 team (8am-8pm seven days a week) on +44 1624 822111.
Please note that you will require ID upon arrival, this can include a passport, driving license or an official ID card.
Staying Safe
Whilst visiting the Island, it is important that you take the recommended government measures to keep safe. There are several precautions that will help to reduce the risk of catching and spreading COVID-19. These, taken separately, can leave gaps in protection, but when practised together both personally and collectively, can be very powerful in mitigating the impact of the virus.
While there are no other formal restrictions in place, it is strongly recommended that you take personal measures to limit the risk to yourself and those around you. Each individual circumstance is different, but the following advice should be considered:
Face - Face coverings can provide extra protection for those around you and can help stop you from spreading the virus when you don’t know you have it. There is currently no legal requirement to wear a face covering, however you may wish to consider wearing a face covering in public settings until day 10 after travel (where relevant). If face coverings become mandatory, guidance will be issued on https://covid19.gov.im/
Space - COVID-19 spreads through droplets and in confined, close or crowded settings. There is currently no legal social distancing requirement in place in the Isle of Man. Until day 10 after travel (where relevant), it is a good idea to think carefully about which people you come into contact with, particularly if meeting with those who might be vulnerable.
Hands - continue to clean hands and surfaces regularly, and maintain strong personal hygiene.
