If you dont pay it, you likely lose the deposit. Xmas is nearly 4 months away.

Who is it booked with?

Tui I booked it November last year before Covid19 and I’m insured with my bank

Insurance isnt really relevant here. If there are government restrictions/advice in place for your destination at the time you fly, it will be cancelled and you get a full refund. But only if you have kept up the payments. 

Choosing just not to go and Insurance wont cover you, and it would be the normal TUI cancellation terms: cancelling today would mean loss of deposit, as an example. Not paying the balance also means loss of deposit.

This was a thread that was posted on here hundreds of times throughout March, April and May

Cancel now (or fail to pay balance) and lose £200 per person. If you pay the balance and you later decide you don’t want to go, you’ll lose more as per TUI T&Cs. If TUI cancel the trip then they will have to refund you all monies payed. 

Worth saying that as a proper tour operator, TUI have been one of the better companies. When FCO advice has changed, they have cancelled holidays. When quarantine restrictions have been introduced, they have cancelled holidays.

You'll likely be allowed to go, but may be subject to the quarantine period on return.
