Here is the full list of green list countries on the UK government's traffic light system for travel, including Portugal, Gibraltar, Iceland and more...
PLEASE NOTE: This information is correct as of 6pm on 7 May.
The UK government has announced the much anticipated green list, where travellers will not have to quarantine on their return once the travel ban is lifted on 17 May. However, in reality, not all of them are currently open to UK travellers.
For the ones you can visit, you will still need to adhere to testing requirements, so make sure you know what the traffic light system means and what you will need to do before travelling in and out of the country. And don't forget! Just because a country is on the UK's green list, it doesn't mean the UK is on theirs! So do make sure you keep up to date with the latest travel restrictions in place for the country you are planning to visit.
The next updates to the Green List will be in June, when it is anticipated that many European countries currently on the amber list could move to green.
Gibraltar is on the green list for travel meaning UK travellers can return from Gibraltar without needing to quarantine.
