UK: Permanent travel restrictions
  • Britons trying to go on vacation while travel restrictions are still in place could face a $7,000 fine under new government legislation.

    The new UK Roadmap Rules, published on Monday, suggest that anyone who travels outside England “for no good reason” should face a £ 5,000 (US $ 6,932) fine.

    The law, passed a year after the UK first imposed isolation, will be approved by parliament on Thursday.

    Due to Covid-19 restrictions, non-essential travel is currently prohibited.

    In accordance with the Stay Home order, anyone leaving the country must complete a travel declaration form explaining the nature of their trip. Border guards are interviewing UK residents returning home about the reasons for their trip.

    The current fine is £200 for not completing the travel declaration form.

    If accepted, the £ 5,000 set fine will take effect Monday 29 March.

    The new law will be in effect until June 30, which means that non-essential travel will be banned for another three months.

    So far, the earliest date for the resumption of international travel was 17 May.

    All this laws will become permanent.
