Important information for visitors regarding Coronavirus (Covid-19)
UPDATE 29.06.2020
Visitors:
Travel restrictions remain in place and the Isle of Man is still currently unable to accept visitors (following the announcement made on Sunday 22nd March by Chief Minister Howard Quayle MHK), with the exception of residents from the Bailiwick*
* On Thursday 25th June 2020 it was announced that the governments of Guernsey and the Isle of Man have agreed to form an ‘air bridge’ allowing travel between the jurisdictions without the need for self-isolating on arrival. Both jurisdictions have very similar measures in place for border controls from other locations, and robust testing and contact tracing capabilities, and neither have seen a new case of COVID-19 for several weeks. The air bridge will operate from mid-July for a period of 6 weeks initially (updates on schedule to follow shortly).
We hope you can understand our position and ask for your continued patience as we continue with our exit from lockdown for the benefit of our residents. We look forward to welcoming you in the future when it is safe to do so.
Until then… Stay safe, stay extraordinary!
Returning residents:
This guidance is for Isle of Man residents who left before the borders closed on 27 March 2020.
If you are a returning resident who meets the following criteria:
- You are a resident of the Island, as defined in the Regulations
- You did not leave the Island on or after 6 a.m. on 27 March 2020
You can return to the Island via specially designated transport, providing you are not displaying any symptoms of COVID-19. Spaces on sailings and flights will be allocated on a first come first served basis and people will still have to quarantine either at home or an approved location on arrival to the Isle of Man.
