COVID-19: Continuing to Rebuild Confidence

To further assist travellers and travel bookers obtain up-to-date travel and border restrictions for countries globally, a Where can I travel? (Covid) widget is available.

The widget’s advice provided by Riskline should be considered general as it does not consider the passport nationality(ies) of the traveller. As such, entry requirements including but not limited to Visas, COVID-19 and other Health conditions (e.g. Yellow Fever) may not be provided. Travel Check therefore is the recommended to be used to ensure all necessary information is obtained.
