Norway has removed all of its Covid-19 related entry requirements for tourists. The Scandinavian country, famed for its enchanting northern lights displays, stunning lakes and otherworldly glacial fjords, made the announcement just yesterday, becoming one of the first countries in the world to revert their entry requirements back to pre-pandemic settings in the process in what could be a watershed moment for the travel and tourism industry.

So UK likely to drop the two tests by end of month for unvaccinated. 

That allows travel to Norway and Mexico and a few others as they allow anybody in no tests. 

Problem is the richer countries Spain Germany France Holland are still rife on covid regulations. Look at France today full of trouble. Holland said they will drop masks but extend the covid pass. 

I tend to take the Eurostar so Norway and Denmark and places like this are less appealing. Does everybody see other countries following UK and Norway?

I suspect that the majority of the countries will have removed restrictions by the summer.

The countries with the swivel eyed mandate nuts in charge probably won’t because they’ll be too busy doubling down on their own citizens not getting in to restaurants.

If you are willing to avoid these places then I think you will be fine and save you money by avoiding these tests by going elsewhere. 

This will save you money ( I understand this is the purpose of the websites) and I hope it is nice of me to suggest this so hopefully I’ve not upset the moderators by suggesting this.

Good news I like Switzerland I usually take train no idea what flights are like. Good country though. It’s funny how it’s non EU countries Norway Mexico Switzerland and UK dropping restrictions. I really hope one of the Eurostar destinations drops restrictions as I don’t like flying much.

Lithuania Just dropped vaccine passports and tests to enter now too. First EU country member to do so. More soon?

Lithuania is in the EU. So that’s a good development for you I would say.
The Eastern European countries seem pretty liberal though compared to Western Europe and the comedy acts in North America.

(Caveat) This will hopefully save you money (which is the intention of this forum) and hopefully I have been “nice”  enough for the forum moderators.

I hate to have to add the above caveat but it seems to be required at the moment with the current moderators on here.
