🔴Double-vaccinated expats are set to be free to travel to the UK.

✈️British families have been separated by the current quarantine-free travel restrictions because the Government only recognises people who have been vaccinated by the NHS

🚦However, ministers are preparing to change the rules

The new rules would allow UK nationals who have been vaccinated overseas to register the jabs with their GP, clearing the way for them to return to the UK to visit family and friends without having to self-isolate
✈️This could benefit:

🇪🇺300,000 British citizens living in just eight of the main EU countries
🇺🇸 700,000 Britons in the US
🇫🇷150,000 Brits in France (once it is removed from its current "amber-plus" status)
🌎 Ministers are also expected to open up quarantine-free travel "very soon" to foreign nationals in a reciprocal deal with 33 countries that have recognised the NHS app

🇫🇷 Thomas Fisher is a British and French dual national who has lives in Paris.

His girlfriend and all his close friends live in London.

➡️He used to go back to the capital at least once a month.

Covid restrictions have meant he has only been able to visit twice in over a year
🗣️Thomas says, "I check the news all the time to see if there are any plans on the UK accepting the French vaccine because that would allow me to go to the UK"

💉"It feels like you're being discriminated against because I am British, and it is the exact same vaccine"
🇪🇸Eva Baroja from Madrid was fully vaccinated with Pfizer at the beginning of July:

🗣️"If British people are fully vaccinated they can holiday in Majorca and go back home without quarantining. But I have to pay for Covid tests and quarantine just to visit my boyfriend in London"
Nadhim Zahawi, the vaccines minister, said:

💉“By the end of this month, UK nationals who have been vaccinated overseas will be able to talk to their GP, go through what vaccine they have had and have it registered with the NHS"
