European countries that require completing documents before traveling [LIST]

Travel restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic have been largely lifted, but some countries require passengers to complete additional documents such as a Health Declaration Form and a Passenger Locator Form prior to the flight. Note! Failure to complete the required forms and other documents will result in the passenger not being allowed on board the airport or being turned back at the arrival airport by local services.

List of European countries that require passengers to complete additional documents

Filling out the forms is mandatory for all travelers, not only the person who made a booking. Example: if you book tickets for 5 people, then each passenger who will travel with you must complete the required documents.

Remember that in some cases these documents must be completed no later than 72 hours before the scheduled departure. Therefore, we recommend that you read the travel rules first. Check if the authorities of the country you are traveling to require completing appropriate documents and forms.

Note! All the fields in the forms provided in the table below must be filled in.
