The Isle of Man's border rules are being relaxed today. 

The current rules mean unvaccinated Manx residents will no longer be required to test or isolate after returning to the island.

The changes apply to those who have travelled within the common travel area- which includes England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Channel Islands.

However, the requirement to fill out a landing form remains.

The Isle of Man government said scanners have been installed at the borders to help 'streamline' arrivals, allowing vaccinated visitors to scan vaccination QR codes.  

The rules for those arriving on the island who have travelled from green and amber list countries remain the same.

Peel harbour has also been partially reopened- a spokesman said there will be limited windows for docking, and booking will be required.
