Today you can go back to the United States: no isolation required

As of today, you can fly back to the United States without being isolated there. You need two shots against the corona virus and you can prove a negative test despite your vaccine. Visit to the United States.

After a 1.5-year entry ban, the United States has opened its borders to vaccinated people from 33 countries, including the Netherlands. In Europe and Mexico, after more than 600 days of travel restrictions, the flow of travelers began to increase due to the inability to trade, meet friends or family, and go on vacation to the United States.

As a result of the epidemic, the United States closed its borders except for visiting travelers. International freight continued.

Meeting at airports in the United States

Do you have a plan to fly to the United States? We list the rules for you:

• Vaccination certificate must be shown upon arrival in the United States. Your shots must be taken at least 14 days before you arrive, and your vaccine must be approved by the United States. Compatible with Pfizer, Moderna, Janssen and AstraZeneca.
• Fully vaccinated? Unfortunately it is not enough, you should take PCR test or antigen test till 3 days before departure and the result should definitely be negative. With this, the United States wants to double-check that no corona cases are slipping.
• If you have a recovery certificate, you can also show it to go to the United States. You still need to take one extra shot so that enough antibodies in your body can travel safely. You need to show your positive corona test as evidence. This proof should not exceed 90 days, so check this carefully before planning a trip. You will also need a letter from the healthcare provider with permission to travel.

There are several exceptions to the need for vaccination. Children or those who cannot be vaccinated for medical reasons can still fly if they show a negative test result 24 hours before departure. Everyone over the age of two should have a corona test.
