New 'Isle of Man Resident Pathway' removes requirement for testing and isolation

Fri, 10 Sep 2021


Border controls that are currently in place for Isle of Man residents will be eased from Thursday 16 September, as part of the Council of Ministers commitment to restoring unrestricted travel between the Island and the British Isles once the majority of the population have been fully vaccinated.

 

There will no longer be any testing or isolation requirements for Isle of Man residents when they return from travel from within the Common Travel Area (‘CTA’), regardless of vaccination status.

 

The change streamlines the current two-stage exemption form process to provide a more efficient service – with just a landing form required for entry. All travellers will continue to be strongly advised to undertake home testing using lateral flow devices tests every 3 – 4 days upon return.

 

For residents who have been outside the CTA in the preceding 10 days, the current process will remain the same, with arrivals from amber countries undertaking the ‘7 day pathway’ and red countries following UK travel requirements prior to onward travel to the Isle of Man.

 

At this stage, restrictions on unvaccinated non-residents will remain in place, but under review.
