Christmas has begun in tears and anger at Sydney Airport.

The confusion was made worse by dozens of flight cancellations as airlines and 'testing staff' struggled.

From Tuesday 21 December, fully vaccinated international passengers and air crew arriving in NSW no longer need to self-isolate for 72 hours.

International passengers are required to:

• Get a COVID-19 PCR (nose and throat swab) test within 24 hours of arrival.
• Self-isolate until you receive a negative result.
• Get tested again on day 6 after arriving in NSW. Another test is recommended on day 12.

Do not enter healthcare, disability or aged care or correctional places for at least 7 days after your arrival and until you receive a negative day 6 test result.

Police may request proof of your negative PCR test, so you should carry this at all times.

International passengers who are not fully vaccinated must go into 14-day hotel quarantine. For more information visit: https://www.nsw.gov.au/covid-19/travel-restrictions/international-travel-rules

Following the facilitated departure of almost 700 Australians and their families from Bangladesh in the last eight weeks, the Australian High Commission has no plans at this stage to arrange a further special flight.

We understand that following the partial lifting of civil aviation restrictions for Bangladesh, some airlines could soon resume commercial flights from Dhaka to London-Manchester and Doha.

We encourage Australians and Australian permanent visa holders in Bangladesh to investigate commercial options to return home. You should contact airlines directly for updates.
