Travelling through other countries to your destination
What travel rules apply to me if my train passes through other countries before reaching my destination?
- If you’re travelling on a direct Eurostar train, you only need to meet the entry requirements of your Eurostar destination, and not those of any country the train passes through.
- If you’re only taking the Eurostar for part of your journey, you’ll need to meet the entry requirements of your Eurostar destination and check separately which rules apply for the rest of your journey.
