Montenegro is now a UK red-list country.
At 04h00 this morning, it moved from the UK’s amber list to the red. All passengers arriving in the UK from Montenegro after that have to follow the red list rules – no tourists (only UK residents and special visas allowed), mandatory pre-booked, prepaid hotel quarantine for 11 nights and PCR tests.
This was contained in the UK government’s new rearranged red, green and amber listings, on August 26, containing countries graded according to an undisclosed protocol.
Thailand also moves from amber to red at the same time.
Simultaneously, Canada, Denmark, Finland, Liechtenstein, Lithuania and Switzerland move from amber to the green list. Portugal (including the Azores, but excluding Madeira) is on the green watchlist, which means it is expected to move to the green list in the near future.
Meanwhile, while Serbia remains on the UK’s amber list, Croatia, currently on the green list, is being watched and could move to the amber list. While the PCR testing period for entry into Croatia from the rest of the world has changed to a test result within 72 hours of entry, for South Africa, India and Brazil, the requirement is still that the PCR result be no older than 48 hours on entry.
Also in danger of moving from the green list to the amber list are: Antigua and Barbuda, Barbados, Bermuda, Dominica, Falklands, Grenada, Israel, Madeira, Montserrat, Slovakia, Taiwan and Turks&Caicos.
No countries on the UK red list are scheduled to move from red to amber currently.
