The coronavirus pandemic has prevented free travel into Dublin, Ireland since March 2020. When I returned home to Dublin in May, I lucked out by traveling from one of the few non-level 2 countries (Belize) so I was able to enter without hotel quarantine. But bars didn’t open for outdoor service until mid-May, and libraries and museums were just starting to open when I returned to the United States in June.

Following the example of the European Union’s digital COVID-19 certificate, Ireland will welcome EU/EEA and fully vaccinated American travelers without quarantine or pre-departure COVID-19 tests starting July 19. You will need to carry proof of vaccination.

Dropping the quarantine restrictions allows US and UK citizens to tour freely through the Republic of Ireland again. Tourism is a major portion of Ireland’s GDP, which helps explain why the state is willing to trial the effects of the COVID-19 vaccine. They don’t expect large groups of tourists right away but will allow small groups and families to resume their explorations of the Emerald Isle.

Unvaccinated tourists are still welcome conditionally. They must arrive with a negative COVID 19 test and self-quarantine (not mandatory hotel quarantine) until a second test is obtained (and negative) no sooner than 5 days after arriving in Ireland.
