Arrival cards and declarations: Health declaration form and screening (Ebola measures)

21 days

The UK government says that, because of the Ebola outbreak, all travellers must complete a health declaration form, declare any travel through an affected country in the previous 21 days, and undergo health screening on arrival. If you have been in or transited through an affected country in the last 21 days you may not be allowed to enter unless exempt (Malagasy nationals, foreign residents, work or student visa holders, diplomats and international-organisation or NGO staff), and exempt travellers must complete a 21-day quarantine at an approved location at their own cost.
