The UK Department for Transport updates its list of countries subject to COVID-19 travel restrictions every three weeks under what is known as the "traffic light" system. With the latest update, Thailand and Montenegro, which had been on the amber list, were moved to the red list.

Following the telephone conversation between President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and UK Prime Minister Boris Jonson, recent reports in the British press had suggested that Türkiye would be moved to the amber list; however, in the update made on 26 August, Türkiye remained on the red list.

All passengers arriving in the UK from countries on the red list must pay 2,200 pounds and remain in quarantine for 10 days at a designated hotel.

Considering that the next list update will be made in three weeks, it is expected that tourism movement between the UK and Türkiye has come to an end for this season, and that all UK-related cultural, sporting or tourism events to be held in our country will also be cancelled during this period.
