This week the Biden Administration issued a new Presidential Proclamation that will take effect on November 8, 2021, ending the U.S. COVID-19 travel restrictions that applied to most foreign national nonimmigrants traveling from Brazil, China, India, Iran, Ireland, the Schengen Area, South Africa, and the United Kingdom.

In lifting these travel restrictions, the Administration has implemented vaccination requirements for most adult foreign national travelers on U.S.-bound flights that depart after 12:01 a.m. Eastern Standard Time on November 8, 2021. These travelers will need to show proof of being fully vaccinated against COVID-19. The vaccination requirement does not apply to U.S. citizens, U.S. nationals, and U.S. green card holders.

Information on the vaccination requirement, including information on exceptions and waivers, is available: Non-U.S. citizen, Non-U.S. immigrants: Air Travel to the United States | CDC.

Travel requirements for U.S. citizens, U.S. nationals, and U.S. green card holders is available here.

All travelers will continue to be required to show a negative COVID-19 test result taken no more than three days before travel, or documentation of recovery from COVID-19, when traveling to the United States by air.
