Just now, the British immigration department has released the latest entry regulations! The details are as follows:

From 5 January 2023, a two-day COVID test result will be required to travel to England from Chinese mainland, and not for children aged 11 and under.

The document can be a paper version or an electronic version of the document on the mobile phone.

Passengers are required to provide the original test result, and the airline will check it, and those who fail to meet the test will be denied boarding. The test result must be in English, French or Spanish.

This applies to all direct and connecting flights departing from Chinese mainland. Connecting flights include one or more stopovers in other countries and regions prior to arrival in England, including Hong Kong and Macau.

This applies not only to England as the final destination, but also to the English as a stopover.

Although the new entry rules are only implemented in England, the official website of the United Kingdom ** says that there are currently no direct flights from Chinese mainland to Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales, and transit through England must also follow the above regulations.

This means that as long as the flight departs from Chinese mainland and the plane lands in England, a pre-departure COVID test (PDT) is required.

Can I get a nucleic acid report in English?

2.Click on "Nucleic Acid Testing Institutions" in "Convenient Services".

3.After entering the page, enter your city, and you can see which institutions are nucleic acid institutions certified by the *** system. These agencies are able to produce reports in English.

5.What information do I need on the nucleic acid report?

English name, passport number, date of birth, ID number, test method, hospital color badge, test time.

Although the UK does not require positive patients to isolate, the UK NHS guidance recommends staying home for 5 days and 3 days if you are under 18 years old.

In addition, starting January 8, the UK** wants to conduct a "spot check" test on one in five Chinese passengers arriving at London Heathrow Airport, and the positive sample will be sent to a laboratory for genetic sequencing to analyze the variant type.

From 4am on March 18, all travellers entering the UK, regardless of whether they have been vaccinated or not, will no longer need any form of COVID testing, no need to quarantine after entry, and no longer need to fill out a Passenger Locator Form, fully reverting to the pre-pandemic opening policy.

Here I have to mention the thing that makes students happier, that is, according to the new rules of the UK, students no longer need to register with the police station from August 4, 2022.

Previously, it was a very cumbersome process for Chinese students and new immigrants to enter the UK, because according to the UK requirements: all long-term visa holders over the age of 16 (who plan to live in the UK for more than 6 months) need to register with the local police station within 7 days of arriving in the UK. After applying and getting the registration letter, you also need to go to the police station to register with each change of visa, marriage, or address.

Now this troublesome work is canceled!

For those entering the country this year, the amendment or cancellation of this policy has provided a lot of convenience. In some areas, police registration is remote and takes a lot of time to get back and forth, and the police registration policy rarely works in practice.
