It don't end there with costly quarantine when you return. Anyone still thinking of crossing the water this year.

Covid: £5,000 fine for people going on holiday abroad

It is due to come into force in England next week as some other lockdown restrictions are eased.

[Gaston aires]

So many restrictions. I’m glad I didn’t book foreign this year.

 

[MisterB]

Yes, I am and why wouldn't I still be thinking and planning ....? Plans change all the time when we are out in the motorhome ...

 

[jongood]

The easy answer is don't come back.

Not surprised really. Our playpen neighbours in the EU will have to buy new dummies to throw about.

 

[pagey]

My new passport has just arrived now thats ironic

 

[maison]

Still have a crossing booked for mid September.

It can always be changed, for the third time.

 

[Tigertom]

It might stop us going for a while.........it most certainly doesn’t curb any desire to do so

No Holidays abroad Allowed

If it comes into Law no holidays abroad from next week, I didn't see that coming, will it happen, and if we can't go out will visitors be allowed in. I know in theory it's best not to travel abroad at the moment but to see it so stark on Sky news seems a different situation.

And there was an older thread with the same discussion, but that does have a cryptic title.

True or hoax​

We usually get several RIP threads for the same dead person too

 

[davesmiff]

This is food for thought

Covid travel rules will include 'Stanley Johnson loophole' for second homes

Updated regulations will allow people to leave UK to prepare second homes for sale or rent

Of course it only becomes expensive if you break the law or try and be creative with your interpretation - personally don't see the issue with heavy fines where that to be the case.

I would like to see the list of "reasonable excuses" for travel abroad.

How big are the loopholes?

Top of the list of "reasonable excuses" will be MP's on a "fact finding mission" accompanied by their assistant (who just happens to be their partner). Never sure why they need to go to top tourist destinations to discuss "poverty.

Next on the list will be to check on property that you own nearby, and can combine with your fact finding trip to prolong your stay.

[Withdrawn] Travel to England from another country – COVID-19 rules

Check if there are any COVID-19 rules in place for travel to England from abroad.

www.gov.uk

 

[Gellyneck]

For those who have just renewed their passport, and in line with the C&MC and C&CC threads, do you think we've got any chance of a free night's voucher or 3 months extension?

 

[Jimbohorlicks]

In Dover and Folkstone they are selling off the rubber dingies that were confiscated or found abandoned on the local beaches. Soon get you to France when the weather gets better.If you get stopped halfway across you get a free lift back and put up in a hotel,a free holiday. But in the UK.

And with that paperwork, my work travel also needs L10 (i.e. Vice President) sign off: -

{who I work for} is asking employees to defer non-essential business travel. For international travel, seek L10/VP approval before booking travel. For domestic travel, each organization will determine required approval level. Review {who I work for}’s COVID-specific travel guidelines, traveler responsibilities, and resources to assess travel restrictions. Check location-specific COVID impact conditions, including quarantine requirements, on the International SOS (ISOS) portal or app. Proceeding with this booking implies that you acknowledge traveler responsibilities, and have attained required approval. For questions contact {travel bod}.

I have paid for overseas customer engagements starting late May
Wonder how that'll shake out.

 

[coroner]

I'm still going allowed to travel to our villa to prepare it for rental or sale and chat to the local estate agent to see how much its gone up in value .Only problem its in Turkey so will need to retire first haven't got enough holidays left as we want to drive down in the motorhome. If its good enough for Boris dad its good enough for us plebs as well.

 

[Fulham Dave]

Not a chance it will stop us planning or travelling if allowed.

Restrictions, including this new fine will be reviewed next month. If the govt's allows travel in May, then we will be heading across the channel, abiding by rules and restrictions that national govt's and we have put in place for our and others safe keeping.

On a presumption it hasnt changed before that (which is where my money is)
