Q I’m a British citizen, currently in the UK. My partner is Sri Lankan and living in Sri Lanka. We haven’t seen each other since October 2019. We want to purchase a home in Sri Lanka and register our notice of marriage at the British High Commission in Colombo.

Sri Lanka has just opened to allow UK citizens to apply for visas. But can I go now during this lockdown? I’ve read all the government advice and seen you are able to travel for legal obligations, weddings, property buying/selling and support bubbles. I feel like I am qualified to go, but I am scared of being turned away at Heathrow fined and losing all the upfront quarantine/flight costs. I obviously would be following all PCR and quarantine rules.
