We got married on Thursday and are off on our maiden trip in our new Moho this Sunday 3rd.  Quick overnighter near Canterbury then on the ferry to Calais Monday morning.

France seems straightforward enough, got the Tous AntiCovid app with NHS Vaccine Passports within, no testing required but unsure if locator forms still required?

Really struggling to figure out what we need for Switzerland as I've been told it's all just changed again but can't find what it's been changed to, anybody know?

Italy seems straightforward enough too but again unsure if we need to do locator forms and if we do then what the heck do we put if we don't actually know where we will be?

Any help much appreciated, it's bad enough that we've never holidayed in a motorhome before :-)

Cheers

Malc

    Congratulations and good wishes.

    I could tell you what I think are the answers for Covid restrictions and requirements for entry to Switzerland but I would rather you went through the official UK and Swiss government websites in case I mislead you.

    But can I take it that you know about vignettes for travel in Switzerland for Motorhome under 3500kg. and special travel permits for vehicles over that weight. You pay the customs officer at the Swiss border.

    I hope it goes well.

    Whatever the requirements, I hope you have a copy of the marriage certificate with you. I would not like trying to explain why your covid certificates/info has a different name.

    I hope you have a wonderful time.

    That shouldn't be an issue. We married five years ago but my wife kept her maiden name.

    ps: We crossed over from Germany to Switzerland and from Switzerland to France on Wednesday and there weren't any checks at either border. One could drive straight through. On Friday we left France and entered Spain and it was the same there.

    We are currently in Spain having travelled down by road from France,  prior to that we went from France into Germany.

    We were never stopped and asked at the border for passenger locator forms. 

    I understand they are only required when flying into a country or if by road the first country you enter when getting off the ferry or tunnel.

    Enjoy your trip.
