COVID-19 TRAVEL INFORMATION

Pre-departure Testing Requirements for Air Travelers to the U.S. Lifted
Effective June 12, 2022

The CDC order from December 2, 2021, requiring persons aged two and above to
show a negative COVID-19 test result or documentation of recovery from COVID-19
before boarding a flight to the United States, is rescinded, effective June 12,
2022, at 12:01AM ET.  This means that starting at 12:01AM ET on June 12, 2022,
air passengers will not need to get tested and show a negative COVID-19 test
result or show documentation of recovery from COVID-19 prior to boarding a
flight to the United States regardless of vaccination status or citizenship.  Of
note, CDC’s Order requiring proof of vaccination for non-citizen nonimmigrants
to travel to the United States is still in effect.  For more information see
Requirement for Proof of COVID-19Vaccintation for Air Passengers on CDC’s
website.  Please see the CDC website for further information. 

CDC Guidance

The CDC recommends that you do not travel internationally until you are fully
vaccinated. International travel poses additional risks, and even fully
vaccinated travelers might be at increased risk for getting and possibly
spreading some COVID-19 variants. Delay travel and stay home to protect yourself
and others from COVID-19. If you do travel, follow all CDC recommendations
before, during, and after travel. 

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Order, which took effect
November 8, 2021, requiring all nonimmigrant, non-citizen air travelers to the
United States to be fully vaccinated and to provide proof of vaccination status
prior to boarding an airplane to the United States remains in effect. Travelers
should review the CDC website on international travel for additional
information.

COUNTRY SPECIFIC COVID-19 UPDATES




Global COVID-19 conditions are dynamic.  U.S. citizens who choose to travel
internationally should be aware that they may face unexpected challenges related
to COVID-19 as they attempt to travel from one overseas destination to
another.  If you choose to travel internationally, be sure to make contingency
plans, as you may find yourself having to remain in a foreign country longer
than originally planned.  

The Department of State recommends you have access to financial resources
and any medication you require to cover an unanticipated overseas stay of a week
or more.  Travelers should also consider making arrangements for longer than
expected absences from their homes, places of work, and schools before
departing.  The Department recommends all travelers consider travel
insurance with Covid-related trip cancellation and medical benefits.  In
general, Medicare and Medicaid do not cover medical costs overseas.  Please also
see our Health Abroad page.  

Foreign country COVID-19 measures:  In addition to airline requirements, some
countries have imposed other travel requirements.  These may include quarantine
on arrival, mandatory COVID-19 testing requirements, travel restrictions, and
closed borders.  Some countries have also imposed travel
restrictions that can include mandatory quarantine for those testing positive on
departure, which could delay your ability to travel to another country on your
itinerary.   Foreign governments in any country may implement restrictions with
little notice.   

Airline COVID-19 Measures:  If you are planning to travel overseas or if you are
currently overseas and planning to return to the United States, you should
contact your airline for specific information about testing requirements for
travelers.  Because airlines may adopt and modify their own specific policies,
you should contact the carrier for your U.S.-bound flight and not rely on
information from other carriers or information or experience from previous
trips.  

The Department of State provides country-specific information and
advice regarding COVID-19 online.  We update these resources whenever we receive
new information, so please review these resources frequently:  

 * Travel Advisories    
 *  COVID-19 country specific information pages   
 * Follow us on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram for more.

COVID-19 VACCINE INFORMATION FOR U.S. CITIZENS ABROAD




The U.S. Department of State has no greater responsibility than the safety and
security of U.S. citizens overseas. We continue to communicate travel advice to
U.S. citizens during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. While the Department of
State does not provide direct medical care to private U.S. citizens abroad, we
are: 

 * Working with other countries to ensure all residents, including U.S.
   citizens, can receive vaccines through their vaccination programs and in
   accordance with their national vaccination plans. 
 * Ensuring that U.S. citizens overseas who travel back to the United States can
   be vaccinated easily and effectively (please visit Vaccines.gov or call
   1-800-232-0233 (TTY 888-720-7489) to find a location in the United States). 

 * Providing all appropriate consular assistance to U.S. citizens in need
   overseas. This includes providing U.S. citizens with clear information
   regarding eligibility to receive a vaccination in a foreign country or
   providing repatriation loans to assist destitute U.S. citizens with travel
   back to the United States.  U.S citizens can review country-specific
   information regarding vaccine availability on each embassy’s COVID-19 page.
   The full list is available here. 

Meanwhile, U.S. citizens abroad should also register for the Smart Traveler
Enrollment Program (STEP.state.gov) so they can receive important information
from their nearest U.S. Embassy or Consulate, including alerts and updates to
Travel Advisories.

INFORMATION FOR VACCINATED TRAVELERS GOING OVERSEAS




Your risk of contracting COVID-19 and developing severe symptoms may be lower if
you are fully vaccinated with an FDA authorized vaccine. You still may be able
to spread COVID-19 even if you are fully vaccinated.   

Travelers should consult with their personal physician if they have specific
questions or concerns regarding their individual medical situation.    

If you are fully vaccinated and are planning international travel, please
consider the following: 

 * If you test positive before travel to the United States, you could be denied
   boarding and may have to undergo a mandatory quarantine at your overseas
   location.  Unexpected delays or quarantines may result in unexpected expenses
   for the traveler.  Have a plan in case you have to remain overseas longer
   than anticipated. This includes being ready to cover additional lodging
   costs, flight ticket change fees, and any other additional expenses that may
   be incurred due to the unexpected extension. Travelers may find it difficult
   to access general medical care in another country as the pandemic has
   strained health care capacity in some areas.   

 * Border closures, airline disruptions, and other local restrictions may occur
   and could adversely impact your travel plans.   

The CDC recommends that you do not travel internationally until you are fully
vaccinated. Please review additional CDC guidance for fully vaccinated
travelers.   

The Department of State recommends U.S. citizens who
travel internationally purchase travel insurance. To learn more, please
visit this page.

HOW TO GET A VACCINE IN THE UNITED STATES




Travelers who wish to get vaccinated after they arrive to the United
States should visit Vaccines.gov or call 1-800-232-0233 (TTY 888-720-7489) to
find a nearby location.


ALL / ALL /




CRUISE SHIP PASSENGERS




If you travel on a cruise ship, CDC recommends that you make sure you are fully
vaccinated before you travel and get a COVID-19 vaccine booter dose if you are
eligible.  While even fully vaccinated travelers may be at risk for getting and
spreading COVID-19 variants, it is especially important that people who are not
fully vaccinated and at an increased risk of severe illness avoid travel on
cruise ships, including river cruises. The CDC notes there is increased risk of
infection of COVID-19 on cruise ships.  Many countries have implemented strict
screening procedures and mandatory quarantines, which may cause
unexpected delays and expenses.  

Passengers with plans to travel by cruise ship should contact their cruise line
companies directly for further information, continue to monitor the
travel.state.gov website, and read the latest information from the CDC.

U.S. STUDENTS ABROAD




CDC’s new COVID-19 Community Levels recommendations align precautions for
educational settings with those for other community settings.
