From March 11, completing the PLF will no longer be mandatory for travelers from a European country. It will only be compulsory for people traveling to Belgium with a carrier from a third country that is not on the European Union’s white list. This is particularly the case for Japan, the United States and the United Kingdom.
A person holding one of the Covid certificates (valid vaccination, negative test or certificate of recovery) will automatically be exempt from the obligation to test or quarantine, except from a country whose situation is unfavorable, or for region where a new variant of concern has been detected. In this case, travelers must be tested on the first day of their arrival (rapid antigen test or PCR test). Countries with an unfavorable situation include countries in dark red on the ECDC map and third countries that are not on the European Union’s white list.
For their part, people who do not reside in Belgium must be in possession of a valid COVID certificate (vaccination, test or recovery) when they enter Belgium, except for short stays of less than 48 hours without using a carrier. The ban on entry to the territory is maintained for travelers from countries or regions presenting a new variant of concern (zone at very high risk of VOC).
