The IUCN Red List is an authoritative indicator of the health of the world’s biodiversity. The IUCN Red List is: a powerful tool to inform and catalyse action for biodiversity conservation and policy change, critical to protecting the natural resources we need to survive.

The red list countries have existed since January 2021, and are a list of destinations the government has defined as particularly high-risk for new and emerging strains or coronavirus. Here’s the up-to-date full list of countries, and what you need to know about visiting them.

British holidaymakers’ favourites Dubai and Turkey will remain on the UK’s “red list”. In the latest review to its traffic light system for international travel, the government announced the revised green, amber and red lists, which dictate the severity of restrictions faced by arrivals upon entering the UK.

Britain also added six countries to the red list, including the Dominican Republic, Haiti and Uganda. That brings the number of countries covered to 56.

The Government has made it consistently clear it will take decisive action, if necessary, to contain the virus and Pakistan has been added to the “Red List” to protect public health. However, it is right that the Government does all it can to reduce the risk of new strains of COVID-19 being imported into the UK.

If you want to travel to Pakistan, Pakistan is currently safe for travelers of all genders. There are still security issues in more remote areas of the country, but after years of struggle with violence and terrorism, many places in Pakistan are now safe for locals and foreigners alike. In short: yes, Pakistan is safe.

Six countries have been added to the red list, which means that only British residents and nationals will be allowed to travel from them, and must quarantine for 11 nights in a hotel for 11 nights at a cost of £1,750….They are:

• Dominican Republic.
• Eritrea.
• Haiti.
• Mongolia.
• Tunisia.
• Uganda.

Pakistan is on the UK’s red list for travel as things stand, meaning you shouldn’t be travelling there. Travellers may also encounter issues on the other side as Pakistan has restricted the number of international flights coming in and going out since May 5.

The countries on the red list include:

• Afghanistan.
• Angola.
• Argentina.
• Bahrain.
• Bangladesh.
• Bolivia.
• Botswana.
• Brazil.

The Government has moved six countries including Tunisia and the Dominican Republic from the amber list to the red list. Uganda, Eritrea, Haiti and Mongolia have also been added to the red list, joining the 50 countries previously on the list such as Turkey, the UAE, Qatar and South Africa.

India was added to the red list on 23 April, but neighbouring Pakistan and Bangladesh had been on it since 9 April. One of the variants of coronavirus first identified in India has spread to the UK.

India can be a safe country as long as all precautions are taken to avoid any inconvenience. Nevertheless, we must be honest and tell you that although India has many attractive places to discover, the security of the city is not 100% safe. In fact, during the last years, criminality against tourists has increased.

U.S. citizens residing in the United Kingdom are subject to the UK government’s regulations. You should not travel abroad unless it is permitted under the rules. If you are visiting the UK, you may return home to the United States. You should check whether there are any restrictions in place at your final destination.

You must have a valid passport to enter the UK. It should be valid for the whole of your stay. You may also need a visa, depending on which country you’re from. You may also need a visa if you’re ‘transiting’ or travelling through the UK, for example you’re changing flights at a UK airport.

have been fully vaccinated by the NHS in England (you should wait 2 weeks after your second dose) are planning to travel in the next 4 weeks to a country that requires evidence of COVID-19 vaccination.

If you have a British passport you don’t need a US Visa for British to enter the US, you only need an ESTA. The ESTA permits qualifying nationalities to enter the US for tourism or business motives. Any traveler that’s eligible for the ESTA can enter the US by air or sea.

How can I apply?

1. Apply online via the official ESTA website opens in new window.
2. Make a note of the application number so you can check your ESTA status or update your information.
3. Make your ESTA payment – it currently costs $14 if you do it directly via the ESTA website.

six months

90 days

Therefore, if you would like to spend more time making the most of your property then you must hold a B-2 visa. This visa entitles the holder to stay for up to six months (the maximum amount of time non-residents can stay in the States).

The standard length of stay for a B1/B2 visa is 6 months though the maximum length is one year. It is possible to extend the duration to a year if you are originally issued a visa with a six-month maximum duration.

The quick answer to the question of how long a visitor can lawfully stay in the United States for most people is six months. To be more precise, once an admission is determined to be “fair and reasonable,” the default position is that the visitor is granted a six month time period to stay.

There is no limit on the number of times you may enter the U.S. under either ESTA of a visa. However, if reentering the U.S. using ESTA soon after staying for nearly 90 days, you can expect to be questioned in detail by the immigration officer about the purpose of your visit.
