          Where Can Americans Travel Right Now? A Guide To The Places You Can Travel To

          Where Can Americans Travel Right Now? Update On Current Global Travel Restrictions

          by Sophia Titley

          As more and more of the U.S. population is vaccinated, the American tourist is becoming an ever-more desirable visitor worldwide. Some countries have already reopened their borders to Americans, and more are set to do so soon.

          Where, specifically, can Americans travel right now… and what are the current restrictions you’ll face as we begin to retake to the skies to explore the great big beautiful world of ours?

          Where Can Americans Travel Right Now?

          If you’re looking to get on a plane today, the following countries are your top options. Some of them, like Mexico, never actually closed their borders to Americans. Others have opened their borders in the last year or so, provided you meet a handful of entry requirements.

          Negative PCR tests (taken anywhere from 48 hours to 5 days before travel) are required to gain entry almost anywhere in the world right now. Proof of vaccination and proof of recovery (in the form of a certificate from a doctor or a positive test between 11 and 180 days old) increasingly can qualify as acceptable alternatives to a PCR test.

          In some cases, including Albania, the Dominican Republic, and, again, Mexico, you’ll encounter little or no requirements to gain entry.

          Without further ado, here’s the list of countries currently welcoming Americans across their borders. The further good news is that you won’t be required to quarantine upon arrival.

          That said, we should point out that the CDC rates almost all of these countries as “Level 4: COVID-19 Very High Risk.” The exceptions are Saint Maarten (rated “Level 3: COVID-19 High”) and Belize (rated “Level 2: COVID-19 Moderate”).

          Saint Maarten July 2020 PCR test taken no more than 72 hours before arrival or antigen test taken 48 hours before arrival

          To return to the States after having been abroad, you’ll need to provide a negative COVID-19 test or proof of recovery before boarding your flight.

          Where Else Will Americans Be Able To Travel Soon?

          Chances are good that, by this summer, all 27 member nations of the EU will be added to the list of places Americans can visit.

          According to President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen, “All 27 member states [of the EU] will accept, unconditionally, all those who are vaccinated with vaccines that are approved by the E.M.A (European Medicines Agency).”

          All three vaccines being used in the States—Moderna, Pfizer/BioNTech, and Johnson & Johnson—are E.M.A.-approved.

          The European Commission will recommend a change in travel policy that incorporates vaccine certificates or passports, though it’s not clear when this change will happen. It depends on the ongoing technical discussions about vaccine passports and how they can be made broadly readable and effective.

          Though the European Commission’s overarching travel policies are set to change soon, individual member states reserve the right to impose stricter entry guidelines on visitors. They may opt to deny citizens from certain nations entry or to impose unique requirements, such as quarantines on arrival.

          That said, countries in Europe’s southern rim—Portugal, Spain, Italy, Croatia, and Greece—are hugely dependent on tourism income, especially from American tourists. Chances are that they will jump at the opportunity to welcome Americans back to their shores as soon as possible.

          In fact, a few already have. Both Croatia and Greece have been allowing American tourists into their countries since April, provided they meet respective entry requirements.
