Yes, just England for now, Scotland, Wales & Northern Ireland have their own rules but are likely to follow suit.

That's the good news. The bad news is they still will not accept SinoVac or SinoPharm.

So, if you want to go to UK and are lucky enough to have been vaccinated with a full course of one on the approved list, you can now enter the UK without any self isolation requirements. However, you will still need a day 2 (or earlier) test, to be booked and paid for prior to travel. You can do this at the airport.

The UK's obsession with lining the pockets of the lucky few in the testing racket is very much like Cambodia and their quarantine racket.

Man to Dubai to BKK to Penom Phen
1 hour layover in dubai and 14 hour layover in BKK.
Due to a massive wave of anxiety from the new covid wave I bought my ticket first then sorted the paperwork.
Tourist Evisa online and GBP45 insurance, covid test booked for a 3 hour turnaround at the airport before departure.
After reading on one of CEOs pages problems with insurance and Thai transit if not specifying Thailand on it, I purchased further insurance for the duration of my transit in Thailand, only to discover that it also did not specify the country name (only world wide) on it. I printed a copy of the insurance definition of “world wide” to prove it covered Thailand, and hoped for the best. Visa arrived in about 36 hours, I printed it in colour.
I have been doing lateral flow tests for 3 days before departure.
Receiving my negative covid test certificate and having a wet signature and stamp placed on it was the first problem to resolve, when I first asked the clerk who had given me the certificate if they would stamp and sign it they refused to sign it but said a stamp was possible. The certificate itself has a stamp and signature already on it but as it is received digitally then printed they are not “wet”. I explained that immigration in some south east countries are very particular to such details and how important this trip was to me as I was returning home to my wife and kids after being stranded in the UK for 2 years and 2 months. I then asked if they would be kind enough to take the certificate to one of the health professionals that are currently conducting the PCR tests to sign the certificate to prove it was issued by themselves. Much to my relief they were willing to go and ask their manager what should be done. I started to quietly prey to any entity that would listen. A few minutes later I received the paperwork with a wet stamp and signature on it. With gushings of almost tearful thanks I make my way toward the first flight.
A few days before all of this I had decided that taking a bag full of broken cloths halfway around the world was not worth it and that I would travel with hand luggage only.
Next step receiving my boarding passes. At checkin they checked all my paperwork ensuring I met the criteria for the final destination of Cambodia. They were very hesitant, I guess this trip was not common. It took confirmation of the manager for the checkin clerk to hand over all 3 boarding passes. Talk about cutbacks, they were printed out on thermal receipt paper, they had to survive a very long journey.
Flight Man to Dubai 20 min late taking off, with only an hour to transit that puts my very, very important smoke break at risk. Flight was packed to the rafters and with a very large helping of screaming children.
Arrived close to ontime, rushed through dubai airport, did get a smoke, i will buy a new flight if i have to. I did get my connecting flight to BKK. Flight to BKK was again full but far, far more peaceful, arrived on time. Massive anxiety about a 14 hour layover. All paperwork checked and with no problems passed into flightside at BKK airport, my home for the next 14 hours. I have seen written in many places that transit should not be more than 10 hours. I see why now, most of the shops and amenities are still being built and or renovated. Time went very slowly, no smokebreak, how badly I now need a cigarette is starting to feel dangerous.
I boarded my final leg to Phnom Penh without any problems and what felt like a blink of the eye later landed back in what I consider my adopted home country. Immigration was efficient and friendly, about 2 hours in total passed quickly. Finally first smoke in about 24 hours, starting to feel human again, the cold of british winter already a memory in the glorious 30 degree heat. A few hours in a taxi, every view out of the widow reminding me of the hundreds of small things here that I love and appreciate so much, the quiet simplicity of almost everything, the natural pace, the genuine smiles, the beautiful and dramatic landscapes and happy, happy people. Arriving back home during a perfectly timed sunset, to the arms of my family and a cold beer.
Cheers to you all and a very big thanks, as CEO was a massive help in pre planning this very important trip home.
...Update… unFing believable, after all the hoop jumping, all the testing, all the checks and “wet stamps/signatures” I have just been contacted and told to isolate for 14 days as someone on one of my flights has tested positive for covid. At Least I am home.
