July 7 -  The FCO updated its global advisory against ‘all but essential’ travel, exempting destinations that no longer pose an unacceptably high risk for British travellers.   These exemptions came into effect on 4 July. All  advice will remain under constant review to take into account the latest situation in each country.   These countries have been assessed as no longer presenting an unacceptably high risk to British people travelling abroad. Foreign & Commonwealth Office (FCO) travel advice is based on risks to British nationals, including in-country public health assessments.   The global coronavirus pandemic is ongoing. No travel is risk-free, and disruption is still possible. If you plan to travel: • Read the coronavirus travel guidance to make sure you are prepared for your travel • Read the Travel Advice for your destination, for information on current entry requirements and any local coronavirus measures that you will need to follow • Sign up for email alerts for Travel Advice to ensure you are informed of any changes while you are travelling   The FCO continues to advise against non-essential international travel, except to the countries and territories listed on this page.   This list of exempted countries is based on FCO advice from assessing the risk of travelling to specific countries. For the list of countries you will be able to return from without self-isolation from 10 July, view the list of travel corridors for England.
