Jonathan, of Cardiff, said he is contemplating booking a hotel in England to avoid quarantine.
The Welshman said arrivals in mainland Portugal, Gibraltar, French Polynesia and six Greek islands would be remote for two weeks.
This is the first time that regulations have differed in the 4 British countries.
Wales followed Scotland by adding mainland Portugal, where infections have increased, to its list of countries with quarantine restrictions, regulations came into force here at 04:00 BST on Friday, while Scottish regulations will take effect on Saturday.
Wales also added the Greek islands of Crete, Mykonos, Zakynthos (also known as Zante), Lesbos, Paros and Antiparos, following a flight from Zakynthos to Cardiff last Tuesday in which more than 20 people tested positive.
Travellers living in Wales will want to be quarantined if they arrive at an English or Welsh airport.
The British announced Thursday that England’s list of quarantine exemptions would not be replaced.
The first passengers affected by the new regulations landed at Cardiff Airport on Friday afternoon.
Passengers on Ryanair Lighthouse flight in Algarve, Portugal, Cardiff will now have to isolate themselves for 14 days.
Almost some of the other people booked on the return flight of the same aircraft to Faro did not show up, with 87 no introductions.
Jonathan, who is on vacation in Canaa, Crete, said: “It’s the lack of consistent messages and control throughout the British passing government that really makes me angry now, and the fact that they announced it at 5pm UK time, so at 7:00 p. m. , they said ‘you have until 4:00 to go home. ‘
“I mean, what do I intend to hire a personal jet to take me to my circle of relatives and me home?
“I’m almost to the point where I think I’m going to book an ebook at a Premier Inn or anything in Bristol – if it costs me five hundred or six hundred pounds, I don’t care, I can, I will. there and I will live my life normally. “
Gareth Francis de Beddau, Rhondda Cynon Taff, who is on vacation in Faro, Portugal, also criticized the resolve to bring quarantine regulations into effect so quickly, that they give other people time to move the house and avoid quarantine.
“My great sadness with all this is that over the last five weeks, other people have had until 04:00 to move from home on Saturday,” he said.
“This has monetary and practical implications. I’m going to lose two weeks of work, my wife is going to lose the one-week job component. “
Meanwhile, Ruthin’s Mike, who is also on vacation in the Algarve in Portugal, said that adding quarantine for the entire continent was unnecessary when maximum instances were concentrated in other regions.
“I feel very sad about this. We appreciated when we made the resolution that things could replace at some point, however, our resolution was based on when Denbighshire only had more deaths than Portugal, so we made our resolve pass. “he says.
“I emailed Vaughan Gething and asked him, “Has anyone gone to the Algarve to see what’s going on here?”Because the cases in the Algarve are very low. “
Speaking on the BBC’s Today programme, Health Minister Vaughan Gething said he acted on the recommendation of the Joint Biosafety Centre (JBC), after more than 30 instances in Wales were connected to 4 other flights last week.
“Seeing an emerging tide of infections from this list of [Greek] islands, having this direct delight in Wales and a very transparent recommendation on the biggest threat to British public aptitude at the JBC, I didn’t feel like there was a course of action other than taking some form of action,” he said.
“It is not for me why others have not done this, but I am very transparent that we are following this recommendation and keeping Wales safe. “
Grant Shapps, the British government’s shipping secretary, which sets regulations for England, stated that the differences between the four nations were disconcerting.
“I realize that it creates confusion for other people not to have a singles rule, yet we have this decentralized technique across the UK and I can only be guilty for the English component of that,” he said.
