Editor’s note: This post will be regularly updated with new information about travel restrictions and news. It was last updated on June 27, 2022.
Are you dreaming of brighter days when you can explore the world freely again? We’ve got good news: The time has come.
After more than two years of travel bans, strict entry requirements, and setbacks, the trend is clear: Countries around the world are reopening their borders or dropping onerous COVID-19 testing requirements for entry. Even Australia and New Zealand, which locked down harder than almost any country in the world, have reopened to Americans and other travelers. Even Asian nations like Singapore and Thailand have dropped many entry requirements. Other countries including Iceland and Ireland have dropped all COVID-19 entry restrictions entirely.
Still, some countries have major travel restrictions or outright travel bans in place – especially with concerns over fast-spreading variants still lingering. Testing, proof-of-vaccination requirements, or even mandatory quarantine periods could make your next international trip could be much more complicated than just a few years ago.
So what will an international trip require? It depends on where you’re going Here’s a look around the globe, organized alphabetically (click below to jump!)

I agree. This list is very helpful, but could you include the US, and Hawaii with its own special conditions? Also, I understand Ethiopia is now a travel hub for much of Africa, and would be a good one to include.
Jon- MY husband and I like to travel internationly-your column and travel knowledge is greatly appreciated! Cherrie Z
Hi Jon… excellent updates and very much appreciated. I’m hoping to make it to Brisbane/Queensland Australia in a timely fashion though a second surge of COVID in Victoria and New South Wales plus the ongoing problems here in the United States are sure to close the country to U.S. travelers for months.
I have a friend who left to see his girlfriend from Minneapolis MN USA to Oslo Norway last Wednesday July 15th. He’s staying for 1 month has to self quarantine for 10 days but he didn’t have to have a test preformed before he left.
Scotland?
Hey Patty. Scotland is part of the section on the U.K. The restrictions are very similar for all of those nations.
This is a great resource. One thing I want to flag is that it looks like you use the term “US citizens” pretty widely in the document, but many of the restrictions (including the EU member states) are in fact residency based – so for example, a Canadian citizen living in the United States would not be eligible to enter the EU, but a US citizen living in Canada would.
(Source: https://data.consilium.europa.eu/doc/document/ST-9208-2020-INIT/en/pdf “When deciding whether the temporary restriction on non-essential travel to the EU applies to a third-country national, residence in a third country for which the restrictions on non- essential travel have been lifted should be the determining factor (and not nationality).”)
Also, a minor correction to the Mexico section: nonessential travel at land crossings remains banned, but there have never been any restrictions on air travel between the US and Mexico and flights between the two countries never stopped.
Hi! I am wondering if you are planning to update this post regularly so we can keep and up to date account on travel in the up and coming months? I’m hoping to travel December or January so it would be great to have this to review week by week!! Thank you!
Hi Amanda, we update this post several times a week!
Oh perfect, thank you! The top of the page just says last updated on July 29 so that’s why I asked ☺️
Hello- I don’t think your Hungary regulations are correct. US Citizens are not allowed. The two negative Covid tests is for Hungarian citizens who don’t want to quarantine for 14 days.
Thank you, Jackie! I’ve updated that information.
Your article is dated today but I understand that both Colombia and Panamá are opening some airport to international flights.
According to the U.S. embassy in both countries, both international airports are closed until further notice. I’ll be sure to make the appropriate updates when any changes occur. Thank you!
Do you have information for Bonaire?
Hey Mike. I’ve added information for Bonaire.
Thank you for this information. It is so helpful. Would you add Saudi Arabia (RUH) specifically to your list? As of now they are closed but say possibly opening in January.
Hey Jacqueline. I’ve added information on Saudi Arabia. Thank you for pointing that out!
Have you heard of any countries updating their policies for people that have been vaccinated?
Hey Andy. I have not heard of this for any country at the moment. I’ll be sure to update this list as we learn more!
Hello Jon,
Do you have any information on when Israel will reopen to tourists? I have airline tickets for this Spring and am not sure of rebooking again (for the 3rd time). Thanks, in advance, for any information you can provide!
Hey Margarita. I have not heard any news on a potential reopening date for Israel. I’ll be sure to keep an eye on it and update our information when I see any changes!
Hi,
Are the Azores open to US citizens? Such as the city of Madeira
Hey Judy,
The Azores are an autonomous region of Portugal and follow very similar restrictions. I’ll be sure to update anything new I see regarding this!
What about the united states allowing tourists from other countries?
Hey Micaela,
Information regarding travelers entering the U.S. has been added to the top of this post.
Thank you so much for putting this together!
Wow! Thank you for all your effort! Greatly appreciated!
There is an update on French Polynesia. Here are the requirements for US travelers flying to French Polynesia. My husband and I are flying to Tahiti June 3rd so we’ve been watching this closely.

Thank you, Cezanne!
Iceland is changing its entry requirements again. Effective 7/26 or 27 vaccinated travelers have to present a negative test. I think the rules are unchanged for non-vax travelers – test + quarantine + test.
Thank you! I’ve updated Iceland with this new information.
Can Guadeloupe be added to list?
Hey Mariusz. I’ve added Guadeloupe to this post.
Thanks much for providing us with up to date information. I fear, however, that with the
serious spread of the Delta variant, that many places will be shut down again and maybe
before the end of summer. The news via newspapers, radio and TV, plus the internet does
not sound positive for the upcoming weeks and months. I realize that this is not a question
so there is no need to respond unless you know more.
Latvia and Lithuania. Please
I’ve added both. Thanks, Patrick!
Needs an update – as of Aug 6 2021 The Bahamas requires a covid test even for vaccinated travelers.
