When Will International Travel Resume? A Country-by-Country Guide to Reopening Borders

Editor’s note: This post will be regularly updated with new information about travel restrictions and news. It was last updated on May 16, 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. And Americans returning from abroad still need to present a negative COVID-19 test before boarding their flight home – regardless of their vaccination status. 

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!)
