Serbia, which now welcomes US travelers, was removed from the list on July 11. On Friday, Croatia announced it would allow US travelers within its borders, but the nation has remained on the list of the UK-approved countries.

Note that — unlike England, Wales, and Northern Ireland — Scotland is requiring that travelers from Spain quarantine for 14 days upon arrival.

If you’re traveling from countries not on the approved list, you will have to provide UK border control with your contact details, including phone number and address for your UK accommodation where you will be in quarantine for 14 days. Failure to self-isolate could result in a fine of up to $1,270.
