The European Union is preparing a vaccine passport scheme which would allow British tourists to enter Europe this Summer. In a move which will bring joy to millions of holidaymakers the European Commission will propose legislation for a digital green pass allowing for nations to open their borders later this year.

Brussels plans to have a scheme in place for the end of June, which could mean Brits who have been vaccinated will be able to freely travel to European countries as either tourists or for work. The digital passports will also include data regarding your latest coronavirus test results and your level of antibodies for the virus, as well as whether you have received a COVID jab. This means you may not have to have a vaccine to enter Europe, if for example you can prove you have built up immunity via antibodies and test negative before travelling.

The UK has confirmed it is working with international partners on vaccine passport schemes, which will likely be introduced by nations around the world as borders begin to reopen. Spanish ministers have said if the EU scheme cannot be agreed, they will look to negotiate bilateral agreements with countries such as the UK to open up the Spanish tourism industry in time for the summer.
