Where Can Americans Travel Internationally Right Now? [Requirements by Country]

Countries Where Americans Can Travel

Many nations have viewed American travelers skeptically because the U.S. was one of the worst-hit globally by COVID-19. However, despite fits and starts, “COVID-19 spikes,” and more, the U.S. has managed to get a sizable portion of the population vaccinated against COVID-19, which has opened up more opportunities for international travel.

In fact, there is a growing list of over 155 countries that are now accepting American travelers.

Many countries require proof of vaccination and/or evidence that you have tested negatively for COVID-19. Each country is different in terms of requirements for when this test needs to be taken, but most require an RT-PCR test. This test requires getting a nasal swab sent to a lab for processing and isn’t the kind that issues rapid results. Plan accordingly as results from these tests can take a few days to come back.

In addition, now that boosters are widely available, many countries are building this into their definition of what it means to be “fully vaccinated.” This could mean that your initial doses are no longer sufficient to qualify if a certain amount of time has passed (usually over 270 days or 9 goths).

Since many young children still aren’t eligible to receive COVID-19 vaccines, many countries allow children to abide by the same quarantine rules that are applied to parents. Be sure to research the specific requirements by country if you are traveling with children.

Update: As of December 6, 2021, the CDC requires all air passengers arriving in the U.S. from a foreign country to provide a negative COVID-19 test or proof of having recovered from COVID-19 within 90 days to the airline before boarding the flight to the U.S. Regardless of vaccination status, you must provide a negative test taken within 1 day of departure. This ruling applies to U.S. citizens/residents and travelers alike, though non-U.S. citizens and non-U.S. immigrants must be fully vaccinated (unless exception criteria are met, such as children under 18 years old). This means that if you’re traveling internationally, you must figure out how to get tested abroad prior to flying back to the U.S.
