What to Know About Testing and Vaccine Requirements for Travel
Do you need to be vaccinated or have a negative Covid-19 test for your next trip? Check this guide before traveling domestically or abroad.
- Share full article
By Concepción de León
As vaccinations ramp up and regulations loosen for people in the United States, many are planning travel for summer and beyond, with experts predicting that July 4 will be the biggest travel weekend since the beginning of the pandemic.
But with regulations shifting, people might have questions about testing or vaccination requirements for their trips. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently eased travel recommendations to more than 100 countries. On June 18, the European Union added the United States to its “safe list” of countries , meaning that both vaccinated and unvaccinated American travelers should now be able to visit the 27 member countries, but these member states are allowed to set their own requirements and restrictions for travelers.
In the United States, the C.D.C. has advised that vaccinated people no longer need to wear masks in most places and released new travel guidelines that said domestic travel is safe for them. But travelers must take note of local advice and regulations, as these can vary state by state.
Here’s everything you need to consider about testing and vaccinations before you travel within the U.S. or internationally.
Are there testing and vaccination requirements for domestic travel?
For most places, no. You do not need to be vaccinated for any domestic travel. Hawaii is the only state that requires a negative test for travel.
In Hawaii, the test must be administered within 72 hours of arrival and the results uploaded to its Safe Travel platform to avoid a mandatory quarantine when entering the state.
Alternatively in Hawaii, you can also provide proof that you’ve recovered from Covid-19 in the past 90 days, including both a positive test result and a letter from a doctor clearing you to travel.
The state’s governor, David Ige, said this month that people who received their vaccination in the state of Hawaii may bypass testing and quarantine requirements starting on June 15, and that anyone vaccinated in the U.S. will be able to enter Hawaii without testing once the state has reached a 60 percent vaccination rate.
If you are unvaccinated, you should continue to adhere to social distancing and mask-wearing protocols while traveling domestically, the C.D.C. said . You can use the C.D.C.’s Travel Planner to check guidelines by state.
What are the testing and vaccination rules for international travel?
While testing and vaccination requirements vary by destination country, everyone arriving in the U.S. — even vaccinated Americans — must present a negative test result upon entry .
Many nations are still closed to American travelers. Those that are open may require a negative test, proof of vaccination or evidence of recovery (or a combination of these) to enter.
The United Kingdom , for instance, requires that American travelers, regardless of vaccination status, provide proof of a negative test taken within 72 hours of departure, quarantine upon arrival and take two additional tests during their stay. Children under 11 are exempt from these requirements, as are some other people depending on their reason for travel.
Some European countries have been allowing in Americans who are vaccinated or who can show a negative test. Americans are on the European Union’s “safe list” of countries, but while the bloc aims to take a coordinated approach to travel this summer, member states will be allowed to set their own requirements for travelers from individual countries, which could include testing and vaccination.
The E.U. “safe list” also applies to Europe’s border-free Schengen Zone, which includes non-E.U. countries such as Norway, Switzerland, Iceland and Lichtenstein.
Canada is still closed to Americans , with few exceptions, and will remain so until at least early July, said Patty Hajdu, the country’s minister of health, in a news conference in June.
The U.S.-Mexico land border is closed for nonessential travel until at least June 21, but air travel is allowed and the country does not require a negative test for entry. Because of its high risk level, the C.D.C. recommends that travelers be fully vaccinated before traveling to Mexico.
Consult the C.D.C.’s inventory of international travel health notices for more information on regulations by country.
“Travelers should always check with their airline and the embassy of the country they are visiting to ensure they have the proper documentation required to enter the country,” said Perry Flint, a spokesman for The International Air Transport Association, a global airline industry group.
What test should I take, and where and when?
To enter the U.S., travelers must show a negative result to a nucleic acid amplification test (NAAT) — PCR is a type of NAAT test — or an antigen test, also known as a rapid test, taken in the three days before departure, according to the C.D.C .
Some airports offer on-site testing, such as Heathrow Airport in England, or Rome’s Fiumicino International Airport in Italy.
Josh Alexander, a New York-based luxury travel agent for Protravel International, said that many international hotels, including most Four Seasons hotels and resorts , are offering on-site rapid tests for free or at a nominal cost.
Testing at local clinics is also available in many places, though you should check availability at your destination ahead of time and book if you can. It may also come at a high cost. Mr. Alexander said that PCR tests abroad can range from $50 to $150.
The C.D.C. said that it allows for a three-day time frame rather than 72 hours to allow flexibility in the time of day the test can be taken. For instance, if you are flying out on a Friday, the test may be taken at any time on Tuesday.
But, when it comes to international destinations, Mr. Alexander recommends erring on the side of caution when timing your test by calculating it based on time of arrival at your destination.
“Rules are constantly changing,” he said, “so we’re just trying to always tell people they should always be as conservative as possible to eliminate any gray area.”
What are the requirements for minors?
The C.D.C. testing recommendations apply to all children 2 years and older, which means your toddler also needs to deliver a negative Covid-19 test to enter the U.S. from abroad. When traveling, children should wear masks, practice social distancing and wash hands often, the C.D.C. said .
“If the kids are age 12 and older, get ’em vaccinated,” said William Schaffner, an infectious disease expert at Vanderbilt University, in an email.
If you’re traveling to a country within the European Union that is open to travelers from the U.S., children who cannot be vaccinated should have a negative PCR test taken no more than 72 hours before arrival at your destination, and additional testing may be required upon arrival.
Travelers should check with their airline or destination country website for relevant requirements.
What if I want to go on a cruise?
Rules vary from one cruise line to another, with some planning to require that all passengers and crew be vaccinated, and others adopting a hybrid model.
But recent laws passed in Florida and Texas banning businesses from requiring proof of vaccination to use their services may complicate this plan.
Celebrity Cruises, set to be the first U.S. cruise ship to restart operations on June 26 from Fort Lauderdale, Fla., said it’s optimistic that a resolution would be reached in time . It is requiring that guests 16 years and older be vaccinated, while children will be tested at the terminal.
Carnival Cruises said on Monday that its first ship would set sail from the Port of Galveston, in Texas, on July 3 and would be available only for vaccinated passengers. Norwegian, which will begin to operate cruises from Miami in August, said it will require the same through October 31 and has threatened to skip Florida ports if the state does not allow cruise lines an exemption from the law banning vaccine requirements.
Christine Duffy, the president of Carnival Cruise Line, said in a statement on June 7 that “the current CDC requirements for cruising with a guest base that is unvaccinated will make it very difficult to deliver the experience our guests expect, especially given the large number of families with younger children who sail with us.”
“As a result, our alternative is to operate our ships from the U.S. during the month of July with vaccinated guests,” she said.
But even if you are vaccinated, you must also consider the requirements of the country where the cruise is disembarking. The Caribbean island of St. Maarten, for instance, where Celebrity Cruises started sailing on June 5, requires a negative test in addition to proof of vaccination.
What documents should I bring with me if I travel?
This will also depend on where you’re going, but a good rule of thumb is to carry your physical vaccine card, if you have it, and proof of a negative test, if it is required.
Mr. Alexander, the travel agent, recommends people bring the original documents. While a number of digital health certificates — which show vaccine status and test results — are in the works, he said, they are not yet widely accepted. You should check, also, that your document is in the correct language. The United Kingdom , for instance, requires that test results be in English, Spanish or French.
CommonPass , from the Geneva-based nonprofit the Commons Project Foundation, and the I.A.T.A. Travel Pass are two apps providing digital access to vaccine and testing records for travel. The European Union will be releasing its own digital Covid certificate for E.U. citizens by July 1, though it is unclear whether Americans will be able to use it.
You should check with your airline to see if the app you want to use will be accepted at your destination. Both the CommonPass and I.A.T.A. websites list destinations and airline partners accepting the digital health certificates.
Mr. Alexander added that some countries, such as Croatia, may also require proof of a return flight or confirmation of your hotel booking or other accommodation, though this is rare. In South Africa, which has implemented a curfew, travelers may need to show their flight ticket to law enforcement officers to show they are allowed to be in transit.
But these shifting regulations should not dissuade people from traveling, Mr. Alexander said.
“If you’re vaccinated and you’re following safe precautions, you can still have a great experience,” he said.

How to Get a COVID Test for International Travel
A negative covid test continues to be a requirement to travel the world—including for entry into the united states. here’s how to get the right test when you need it..

COVID tests are the must-have travel item of the pandemic.

The need for COVID testing doesn’t appear to be going away anytime soon. Even as more people get vaccinated worldwide against COVID-19, variants such as Delta and Omicron have put numerous countries on high alert. Once again, there are new—and in some cases, stricter—COVID testing requirements for travel.
As of December 6, the United States began requiring that all international arrivals get tested for COVID no more than one calendar day before flying to the United States , regardless of vaccination status. That’s down from three days prior, making it even more of a last-minute challenge to get tested before flying to the U.S.
France and the United Kingdom also reintroduced COVID testing requirements in December for all travelers, regardless of vaccination status. The sudden developments served as a reminder of how quickly travelers sometimes have to scramble to find tests that satisfy new rules—for many, it’s overnight. How do you stay on top of so many changes? How do you know what you need? Look here for starters.
Whether travelers are in search of a COVID test before heading abroad or need to re-enter the U.S., here are the (numerous) options and ways to get a COVID test for international travel.
What kind of COVID test is required to enter the U.S.?
According to the official order issued by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), COVID tests that satisfy the U.S. entry requirement include a PCR test, antigen test (including a rapid antigen test), or an approved home or self test , which means that there are some easier options than a PCR test, the results for which can take longer to obtain—though, there are services that offer “rapid PCR” tests, usually for an added cost.
CDC-approved COVID self tests for international travel

For travelers who are worried about obtaining a PCR or antigen test within a day of flying back to the U.S., there is the option of bringing a set of COVID-19 home or self tests with them. The CDC has approved a handful of self tests for international travel. They include the BinaxNOW COVID-19 Antigen Home Test , the Ellume COVID-19 Home Test with Azova , and Cue COVID-19 tests —all of which we have reviewed .
The tests can be self-administered—meaning you do your own nasal swab—but to meet the CDC requirements, they must be paired with a supervised telehealth video call in real time. (The above tests include the telehealth call service.) Travelers, take note: You must have a reliable internet connection wherever you plan to administer the test, so logging into the telehealth video call isn’t an issue.

How to find a testing site abroad
Want to find out if the country you’re planning to visit has COVID testing sites that can turn around results within a day? A great place to start is the U.S. State Department’s detailed COVID-19 travel information and country-specific advisories , which include an entire section on COVID-19 testing for each country. Right up front, the section answers the question of whether PCR and/or antigen tests are available to U.S. citizens and whether test results are reliably available within one calendar day. It also often includes information about where and how to obtain such tests.
Another good resource is TestforTravel.com , where you can search any international destination for testing centers and filter by the specific type of COVID-19 test you’re looking for.
The good news is that testing has ramped up worldwide, and it has become more widely available at international airports and hotels. Travel companies—including airlines, cruise lines, and tour operators—and travel advisors are also stepping in to help international travelers either actually get tested or find testing sites in their destination. The bad news is that pricing varies wildly. Tests can run anywhere from several dollars to several hundred dollars, which can make travel budgeting a bit of a nightmare.
American Airlines, United Airlines, and Delta Air Lines have all developed resources to provide passengers with international testing information. American is doing so with the VeriFly app , a global health pass that allows users to more easily upload their health data.
Through its United app, United has added a feature called the “ Travel-Ready Center ” (located in the “My Trips” section of the app or online at United.com ). Once passengers access the Travel-Ready Center, they can identify COVID-19 travel requirements for upcoming trips, find local testing options, and upload proof of test results (as well as vaccination status).
Delta, too, has developed an easy COVID-19 testing search function on its website through which travelers can find testing center locations in numerous global destinations.
How to find a COVID test in the U.S. to travel internationally
First and foremost, you need to make sure you’re up to date on the latest entry requirements for the country or countries you plan to visit, or even just enter—there’s never been a better time to fly nonstop. As we have seen throughout the pandemic, these rules can change very quickly at times.
Again, the U.S. State Department’s country-specific COVID-19 advisories are a great place to start to find up-to-date entry rules and requirements. We have also rounded up our favorite interactive map tools that provide updated global COVID-19 travel information.
Once you know what’s required, whether you need a PCR or antigen test, for example, and within what time frame (between two and three days, or 48 to 72 hours, is the most common requirement), you can begin to track down testing options near you.
Mail-in COVID self tests
COVID testing throughout the U.S. is patchy at best in terms of availability and reliability, and it varies enormously from city to city, county to county, and state to state. Earlier this month, President Biden announced that at-home COVID tests will become more available and will be covered by private insurance plans. Additional details will be available in January, but there are a few home or self tests that travelers can stock up on with mail-in options that may qualify for health insurance reimbursement and that satisfy certain international government requirements for entry. (Of course, if the COVID test entry requirement is a very tight time frame—say, two or three days prior to travel—these mail-in options might not work.)
Note that these tests can be used for travel from the U.S. to international destinations that will accept the results , not the other way around. The tests that work for inbound travel to the U.S. from abroad were mentioned above and were reviewed by AFAR editors.
Here are some of the options we have found for self tests that could work for travel:
- EverlyWell COVID-19 Test Home Collection Kit DTC ($109 per test, or discounted for $81.75 with code GIVEMORE): This FDA-authorized PCR test is delivered within two to eight business days of order, so it should be ordered at least a couple of weeks before travel. Once you receive it, take the self-administered test and mail it the same day using the included overnight delivery label. Upon receiving the sample, the lab will provide results within 24 to 48 hours.
- Pixel by Labcorp COVID-19 Test At-Home Collection Kit ($119 per test): An FDA-authorized PCR test that is typically delivered within two days of order. The self test includes a FedEx overnight label that travelers use to send the sample back to the lab, where results are processed within one to two days.
- LetsGetChecked COVID-19 Pre-Flight Test & Lab Report ($109 per test): A home testing kit that travelers can order in advance. The company advises at least five days prior to travel (but why not stock up even earlier than that?). After collecting the sample yourself using a nasal swab, you then send it to the lab with a prepaid next-day delivery label, and results can be expected within 24 to 72 hours after arriving in the lab. This is also an FDA-authorized PCR test.
In-person COVID testing options in the U.S.
Large pharmacy chains such as CVS and Walgreens , healthcare networks, and county and state health agencies are among the numerous entities that offer COVID testing but not always with the guarantee of receiving results within a specific two- or three-day window. Travelers may need to rely on pricier local private providers and urgent care centers (such as CityMD and Medical Offices of Manhattan in New York and COVIDCheckToday in Southern California, Denver, Las Vegas, and Miami) to get a test for travel quickly. DMCOVID-19 Test is a nationwide testing service that does house calls and offers same- and next-day results—for a hefty fee; same-day services will run you around $300 and next-day around $220.
Getting tested at the airport
Another option (or backup option if waiting until just before departure is a little too nerve wracking for you) is to get tested at the airport.
XpresSpa Group’s XpresCheck brand now has COVID-19 testing locations at 11 U.S. airports, including Atlanta, Boston, Denver, Dulles, Houston, Newark, New York (JFK), Phoenix, Seattle, and San Francisco. Services include a standard PCR test with results within 48 to 96 hours (for $75) and a rapid PCR test with results within 60 minutes (for a much heftier $250). Beyond XpresCheck, countless U.S. airports have their own testing facilities as well now, so travelers can look into options at their local hub.
U.S. airports that have COVID testing facilities include:
- Los Angeles International Airport
- Oakland International Airport
- San Diego International Airport
- Connecticut’s Bradley International Airport
- Fort Lauderdale–Hollywood International Airport
- Miami International Airport
- Tampa International Airport
- Daniel K. Inouye International Airport (Honolulu, Hawai‘i)
- Chicago O’Hare International Airport
- Chicago Midway International Airport
- Minneapolis–St. Paul International Airport
- New York’s LaGuardia Airport
- Portland International Airport
- Philadelphia International Airport
- Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport
- Seattle-Tacoma International Airport
What happens if you test positive?
“If you were to test positive for COVID-19 while overseas, you would need to postpone your trip back to the United States, potentially for several weeks. All travelers should have a plan B,” the U.S. State Department’s Acting Assistant Secretary for Consular Affairs, Ian Brownlee, said during a January 26 media briefing when the testing requirement for international travelers entering the U.S. was first introduced.
Brownlee noted that U.S. travelers should consider where they would stay, the cost of an extended stay, and the repercussions they would face if they could not immediately return, whether for work, for childcare issues, or other responsibilities.
“Think through the answers to these important questions carefully” prior to committing to travel plans, Brownlee said. Another recommendation he has for international travelers: Consider travel insurance that covers COVID-19 medical treatments and COVID-19 related travel disruptions.
And the same goes for outbound travel—travelers need to consider what kind of safeguards they have in place, including the cancellation policies for all components of their trip, in the event that they or anyone in their travel group tests positive before flying out.

Global travel requirements
Travel requirements vary widely across the globe. But with the free tool below provided by sherpa°, you can anticipate and prepare, wherever you go. Find out if you need to get tested, what documents local authorities will request, and more. Select your country of origin and destination to get started.
Don't forget to check travel requirements for your international flight — many countries still have entry hurdles
While the United States recently scrapped its pre-entry COVID-19 testing mandate , some countries around the world continue to require COVID-19 testing, proof of COVID vaccination and specific documentation for entry.
The airline check-in process may require evidence and input of this documentation before you can proceed with your trip. In addition, some countries will require additional documentation at border control, and at least in the case of Japan, a new specialized type of tourist visa.
In this summer of hectic travel and flight disruptions , be sure to take a little time and do the research well ahead of your journey to determine any potential entry requirements. You won't want any last-minute surprises before what may already be a stressful trip.
TPG took a look at a few popular countries with continued entry requirements, as well as some that recently dropped their mandates. Requirements can change on a daily basis, so check again with your airline, hotel, tour group, or country tourism website for the latest information well before your departure date — and again as your trip approaches.

Entry requirements can vary
Many countries have scrapped their pre-entry requirements, no longer mandating COVID-19 testing or even asking for proof of vaccination. Destinations that have eased entry requirements over the past couple of months include Italy and Cyprus, Greece , Switzerland , and Bermuda .
Most European countries, including England, France and Germany do not require any testing or vaccination documentation prior to entry.
Related: Country-by-country guide to coronavirus reopenings
However, a number of destinations, even those not requiring testing, have implemented mandatory pre-arrival digital registration systems. This includes Australia's Digital Passenger Declaration , Canada's ArriveCAN , and South Korea's Q-Code . These registrations can typically be completed up to two to seven days before your departure.
For most of these registration programs, you'll need a number of documents on hand. Don't wait until you're at the airport to begin securing them, or you may be out of luck.
Airlines should remind you of the registration requirement prior to checking in (or when booking a flight). However, as regulations change quickly, it's important to double-check with the destination prior to your departure.
My experience with a registration process
As one example, I recently traveled to Canada, pre-registering using the ArriveCan program — but only learning about the program as I reviewed my flight details.
The process took me just about 10 minutes once I gathered the required documents. I needed to create a user name and ID in the program (with email verification), then input my passport data, flight and travel information, as well as my vaccination status.
The program asked for verification that I had received two doses of vaccine, but nothing related to a booster shot. Once completed, the ArriveCan system generated a QR code for a physical printout or digital display to be used upon entry. Upon my arrival at Montreal's YUL airport, I was not asked to present the QR code (possibly because it was attached to my passport information). However, travelers should have the QR code ready for presentation just in case.
As a bonus, the ArriveCan program allows passengers to pre-register for customs declaration, eliminating the need for additional forms or questions at the airport. I did have a slight delay when I couldn't quickly answer a border official's question about where I was staying in Canada. He eventually passed me through, though, when he grew tired of me searching on my phone and in my documents for the information.
Document requirements
Beyond countries like Canada that have streamlined digital systems, some destinations still require an additional back-and-forth document exchange for entry. For example, TPG editor Senitra Horbrook's planned July trip to the Caribbean island of St. Kitts requires her to submit pre-arrival COVID negative test results, a vaccine certificate, as well as an online customs, immigration and health declaration forms.
After submission, she'll wait for approval from the Ministry of National Security.
Japan is one continuing outlier in the travel process. It recently reopened for tourism — but with tight restrictions and requirements. Japan continues to require a pre-arrival negative COVID-19 test along with vaccination documentation. It also currently requires a visa for entry, with tourists allowed only as part of an accredited tour group.
In addition, visitors must sign a code-of-conduct form attesting to their obedience to health regulations. Japan's regulations continue to change on a monthly basis, so potential travelers there should check in regularly with the Japan National Tourism website for information.

Bottom line
Most countries worldwide have relaxed or completely eliminated COVID-related entry requirements. However, a significant number of destinations still require some form of vaccine or health documentation before arrival. Travelers should be aware that restrictions may still be in place for their end destination.
Be sure to check with your airline, tour operator or your destination's health website about a week before your planned date of departure to validate what requirements may be in place. You may need to arrange a COVID test, register for a digital entry program or make copies of your vaccination certificates, none of which you'll want to be doing at the last minute at the airport before an international trip.

New requirements for Americans traveling to Europe postponed until 2025
Visitors who now travel visa-free will need to get approval prior to departure.
Americans eyed upcoming travel to European destinations slightly differently due to news of a requirement that was set to start in 2024 for U.S. passport holders. But now, EU officials have postponed the European Travel Information and Authorisation System ( ETIAS ) launch until spring of 2025.
SchengenVisaInfo.com, a website dedicated to the world's largest visa-free zone where 27 European countries abolished their internal borders known as the Schengen Area, first reported that an EU official confirmed ETIAS won't go live until May 2025, "due to continued delays with the introduction of the related Entry-Exit System (EES), which needs to be operational before ETIAS can be implemented."
An official for the European Union did not immediately respond to ABC News' request for comment.
What to know about ETIAS for US travelers
If you previously traveled to Europe without a visa, you will now need to apply for authorization through the ETIAS , before visiting.
Today, American travelers have visa-free access to 184 global destinations, according to the Henley Passport Index . And while the U.S. passport is currently ranked eighth-most powerful passport to own, that could be set to shift when the European Union adds its new documentation requirements for U.S. visitors.
The application form, which will be available on the official ETIAS website as well as a mobile application, has a fee of 7 euros or $7.79 U.S. dollars. All communication is done by email.
Once you are approved for travel, the authorization entitles visitors to stay in European countries that require ETIAS for up to 90 days within any 180-day period and travelers must be in possession of a valid ETIAS during their entire stay.
MORE: New warning issued for rebooking air travel after delays, cancellations
According to ETIAS, most applications should be processed within minutes, but in case an application takes longer, decisions will be sent within four days or up to 14 days if the applicant is asked to provide additional documentation.
The European Union encourages travelers to apply for an ETIAS authorization "well in advance of your planned journey."

Confirmation of application submission will be sent on email with a unique number that is needed for future reference.
Upon receiving ETIAS travel authorization, travelers are to ensure that their name, passport number and other information is correct because any mistake will prevent them from crossing the border.
If an application is refused, the email will include the reasons for the decision along with information about how to appeal.
ETIAS travel authorization is valid for three years, according to the EU, or until the travel document you used in your application expires, whichever comes first.
MORE: European heat wave breaking records with little relief in sight
The ETIAS authorization is linked to a person's travel document -- such as a U.S. passport -- and both documents will be needed to board a flight, bus or ship to enter any of the European countries that require ETIAS.
Similar to international border requirements with a passport, the ETIAS authorization doesn't guarantee automatic right of entry. "Border guards will verify that you meet the entry conditions" and anyone who does not meet the conditions "will be refused entry," according to the EU.

August brings the last month of peak seasonal temperatures. There is also a last hurrah of summer travel before school resumes. Labor Day weekend signals that fall is right around the corner. As has been the case for most of the year, the travel restrictions are minimal for most destinations.
PORTO, PORTUGAL - AUGUST 01: Tourists photographing famous azulejos traditional Portuguese blue and ... [+] white wall tiles Sao Bento wall tiles at Sao Bento railway station on August 01, 2023 in Porto, Portugal. Each day hundreds of tourists and travellers come to visit the hall of the Historical Sao Bento railway station. The name of the station derives from a Benedictine monastery built on this spot in the 16th century. The monastery fell victim of a fire in 1783, was later rebuilt, but was in a grave state of disrepair at the end of the 19th century. The most notable aspect of Sao Bento Station is the tile panels in the vestibule.

United States Travel Restrictions
The United States air and land borders are fully open, allowing non-citizens to easily visit the country for the first time since the onset of the pandemic. Foreign visitors won’t need to show proof of a current coronavirus vaccination or obtain a negative pre-arrival test. The pandemic-era travel restrictions ended on May 12, 2023.
Canada Travel Restrictions
There are no restrictions to enter Canada from the United States by air, land or boat. For example, visitors no longer need to download the ArriveCAN app, but will only need a valid travel passport.
However, the country is experiencing historic wildfires that impede travel and reduce air quality from its Atlantic to Pacific coasts, which may cause travelers to rethink certain destinations.
Mexico Travel Restrictions
Mexico doesn’t have any entry requirements to visit by air or land border crossing for tourism and non-essential travel. This country has maintained minimal travel restrictions for international visitors over the past several years.

Latin America Travel Restrictions
The only notable entry requirement from Central America or South America is that unvaccinated visitors need a negative pre-arrival test. The list of countries requiring this test has gradually reduced over the past few months. No travel restrictions exist for fully vaccinated travelers.
Caribbean Travel Restrictions
There are no notable entry restrictions to the popular island destinations, whether you reach them by plane or cruise ship.
Europe Travel Restrictions
Now is a great time to visit continental Europe or the United Kingdom as there are no entry requirements.
If you’re planning a Eurotrip in 2024, keep your eyes on the ETIAS requirement, which is a general travel visa that 30 European countries will require in addition to your general travel passport. This additional clearance was initially scheduled to go into effect in 2021 but has been postponed until some time in 2024.
Africa Travel Restrictions
Most of Africa doesn’t have entry restrictions for vaccinated and unvaccinated visitors. With that said, several countries in northcentral and central Africa require unvaccinated guests to have a negative pre-arrival test. There are no travel restrictions to enter Egypt, Morocco, South Africa or Tanzania. These four countries have some of the most visitors to the continent.
China Travel Restrictions
China has the most restrictive entry requirements in Asia for tourism. The nation reopened its borders in early 2023, but it’s still difficult to visit for non-essential travel. Vaccinated and unvaccinated visitors need a negative pre-arrival test no earlier than 48 hours before arriving. Similar guidelines can apply to visiting Hong Kong and Macau.
Additionally, the U.S. State Department issued a travel advisory on June 30, 2023, asking American citizens to reconsider travel as the destination has accusations of arbitrary law enforcement and exit bans.
Asia Travel Restrictions
There are no additional travel restrictions for the greater Asian region. The Philippines
has become the latest nation to no longer require unvaccinated visitors to have a negative pre-arrival test.
Oceania Travel Restrictions
Australia and New Zealand do not have any entry restrictions for tourism and non-essential travel.
Overall, countries across the world continue to ease entry restrictions that have been in place since 2020. Travel volumes can remain high as households take an end-of-summer trip, but the crowds will lighten as school goes back into session.

Brazil Again Extends Visa Exemptions for US, Canada and Australia, This Time Until 2025
Brazil’s government has extended exemptions to tourist visa requirements for citizens of the U.S., Australia and Canada until April 2025, extending a program aimed at boosting tourism that had been scheduled to end Wednesday

RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Brazil’s government extended exemptions to tourist visa requirements for citizens of the U.S., Australia and Canada until April 2025, extending a program aimed at boosting tourism that had been scheduled to end Wednesday.
The decision, issued by Brazilian presidency and the Ministry of Foreign Relations late Tuesday, marks the third time Brazil has delayed the visa requirement since President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva took office in 2023.
His predecessor, Jair Bolsonaro, exempted the countries from visas as a means to boost tourism — although all three countries continued to demand visas from Brazilians.
That went against the South American country’s tradition of requiring visas from travelers based on the principle of reciprocity and equal treatment, and prompted Lula’s Foreign Ministry to say it would scrap the exemptions.
“Brazil does not grant unilateral exemption from visiting visas, without reciprocity, to other countries,” the ministry said at the time, while noting that the government stood ready to negotiate visa waiver agreements on a reciprocal basis. It did reach a deal with Japan to ease travel provisions.
The decision to maintain exemptions for the three countries is important for boosting tourism in Brazil, notably from the U.S., Brazil’s official tourism board Embratur said in a statement Tuesday.

Official data shows that nearly 670,000 Americans visited Brazil in 2023, making the U.S. the second largest country of origin after neighboring Argentina.
The government initially postponed the reinstatement of the visa requirement in October, then again in January. At the time, the government said it was still finalizing a new visa system and wanted to avoid implementing it close to the high season, mainly during the New Year’s celebrations and Carnival festivities in February, which attract tens of thousands of tourists.

New Zealand tightens visa rules after migration hits ‘unsustainable’ levels
Net migration to New Zealand hit a near record high in 2023 after a new temporary work visa was introduced after the pandemic
New Zealand will tighten its visa rules for some migrants as the coalition government moves to overhaul the immigration system it says has led to “unsustainable” levels of migration.
Last year, annual net migration to New Zealand hit a near record high of more than 173,000 non-New Zealand citizens in the year to December, Stats NZ reported .
Immigration minister Erica Stanford announced on Sunday changes to the accredited employer worker visa (AEWV), the main temporary work visa, which was introduced in mid-2022 to help fill workforce shortages after the pandemic.
The government’s changes to the scheme would include introducing English-language requirements for low-skilled jobs and setting a minimum skills and work experience threshold for most employer work visas. The maximum continuous stay for most low-skilled roles will also be reduced to three years from five years.
The changes would be immediate, she said.
“The government is focused on attracting and retaining the highly skilled migrants such as secondary teachers, where there is a skill shortage,” Stanford said in a statement. “At the same time we need to ensure that New Zealanders are put to the front of the line for jobs where there are no skills shortages.”
New Zealand, which has a population of about 5.1 million, has seen a rapid growth in migrant numbers since the end of the pandemic, raising concerns last year that it was fanning inflation. A Reserve Bank-commissioned report released last month into the possible links between migration levels and inflation was inconclusive.
Stanford said the changes would also reduce the vulnerability of migrants to exploitation.
In February, the Public Service Commission released its review of the AEWV scheme, which former immigration minister Andrew Little ordered after complaints of exploitation. The commission found that a small number of “unscrupulous employers” targeted the scheme and took payments from people wanting to move to New Zealand.
“By having an English-language requirement migrants will be better able to understand their rights or raise concerns about an employer early,” Stanford said.
The government had scrapped plans to add 11 new roles to the Green List – a list of highly skilled roles that New Zealand is struggling to fill – including welders, and fitters and turners.
Neighbouring Australia, which has also seen a big increase in migration, has said it would halve its migrant intake over the next two years.

The Digital Nomad Visa Italy is designed to simplify the process of living and working legally in Italy for non-EU citizens . Whether you're a freelancer, entrepreneur, or part of the growing tribe of location-independent workers, this guide will navigate you through the essentials of eligibility, application, and making the most of your Italian adventure.

Step-by-step application process, income verification and financial requirements, visa duration, renewal possibilities, and family inclusion, do digital nomads pay tax in italy, embracing the italian lifestyle as a digital nomad.
What are the requirements for the Digital Nomad Visa in Italy in 2024? To apply for the Digital Nomad Visa in Italy, candidates must demonstrate a stable annual income of at least €28,000 , possess comprehensive health insurance, and provide proof of accommodation. A clean criminal record for the last five years is also mandatory, ensuring applicants are of good standing. This visa targets highly skilled professionals, allowing them to contribute to the Italian economy remotely.
It's important to note that the Digital Nomad Visa Italy is not just about financial stability; it's also about having a certain skill set that allows you to work independently of location . Applicants should be prepared to showcase their professional capabilities and how they plan to maintain their income while residing in Italy. Additionally, understanding the nuances of this visa can help applicants prepare a stronger case for themselves. For instance, knowing that the income threshold may vary depending on whether you're applying alone or with family can impact your planning and application strategy.
Embarking on the application journey for Italy's Digital Nomad Visa involves a series of carefully structured steps. The initial phase requires scheduling a personal appointment at an Italian consulate , which can be done through their official website or by contacting the consulate directly. This face-to-face meeting is a pivotal part of the process, as it allows applicants to present their documentation and discuss their plans with consulate officials.
During the appointment, applicants are expected to provide a range of documents. A valid passport with at least six months' validity beyond the planned stay is mandatory . Proof of employment or income is also essential; this can include contracts, payslips, or bank statements that verify the applicant's financial inflow. Health insurance documentation must show comprehensive coverage for the duration of the stay in Italy. Proof of accommodation, such as a rental agreement or property deed, and a criminal record certificate from the applicant's home country or any country where they have resided for more than six months in the last five years, are also required. For freelancers and self-employed individuals, obtaining an Italian VAT number is necessary, signifying a commitment to comply with local tax regulations and further integrating them into the Italian system.
One of the cornerstones of the Digital Nomad Visa Italy application is proving financial stability. Applicants must meet or exceed the minimum income threshold, which is a key indicator of their ability to support themselves independently during their stay. This requirement not only ensures that digital nomads work effectively but also that they do not become a burden on Italy's public services, including healthcare and social assistance programmes.
What is the income requirement for digital nomad visa in Italy? As mentioned, the visa is now available to individuals earning at least three times the minimum income necessary to be exempt from healthcare costs in Italy, amounting to just under €28,000 per year.
The financial solvency criterion is rigorously assessed by Italian authorities to maintain the integrity of the visa program. Applicants should prepare to present evidence of their income through various means such as bank statements, tax returns, or letters from employers or clients outlining ongoing contractual agreements. The documentation should clearly reflect the applicant's capacity to sustain an adequate standard of living in Italy, aligning with the cost of living in their chosen locale. It's imperative for applicants to understand that this financial requirement is not just a formality but a critical aspect that can significantly influence the outcome of their application.
How long can you stay in Italy with a Digital Nomad Visa? The allure of Italy as a destination for digital nomads is enhanced by the favourable conditions of the Digital Nomad Visa Italy. Initially granted for a period of one year, this visa offers the possibility of renewal, allowing digital nomads to extend their stay and fully immerse themselves in the Italian way of life. Renewal is contingent upon meeting the same conditions as the initial application, ensuring that digital nomads continue to contribute positively to the local economy while enjoying the flexibility of their lifestyle.
Moreover, the Italian Digital Nomad Visa embraces the importance of family , allowing immediate family members to join the primary visa holder. This inclusion is a testament to Italy's recognition of the evolving work-life balance and the value of keeping loved ones together. Family members are eligible to apply for their own visas, which are linked to the validity of the primary holder's visa, ensuring a cohesive transition to life in Italy for all.
While the Italian lifestyle can be enchanting, it's crucial for digital nomads to navigate the complexities of Italy's tax system with due diligence. As a digital nomad in Italy, understanding and complying with local tax laws is paramount. The country offers a favourable tax environment for remote workers , including potential tax breaks and incentives designed to attract global talent. However, these benefits can only be enjoyed with proper guidance and compliance.
Seeking advice from a global mobility expert or an Italian tax adviser is highly recommended to ensure that all fiscal responsibilities are met. They can provide insights into double taxation agreements, local tax laws, and any exemptions that may apply to digital nomads. By taking proactive steps to understand taxation in Italy, digital nomads can work with peace of mind, knowing they are contributing fairly to the community that hosts them.
For those who have secured the Digital Nomad Visa Italy, the transition to an Italian lifestyle is more than a simple change of scenery—it's an invitation to embrace a way of life that has been celebrated for centuries. The Italian ethos, which prioritises balance between work and leisure , aligns perfectly with the digital nomad philosophy. This synergy allows for a seamless integration of productivity with the pleasure of enjoying Italy’s world-renowned cuisine, art, and community spirit.
Italy is not just a place to work remotely; it's a destination that enriches the soul . The opportunity to work from a vineyard in Tuscany, a beach in Sicily, or a bustling cafe in Rome is not merely about the aesthetic appeal—it's about drawing inspiration from surroundings that have fostered some of the greatest minds in history. As a digital nomad in Italy, you're not just completing tasks; you're building your legacy in the cradle of the Renaissance, surrounded by an environment that encourages creativity and innovation.
Moreover, the Italian Digital Nomad Visa opens up possibilities for personal growth and networking . Italy's diverse expat and digital nomad communities provide ample opportunities to connect with like-minded individuals from around the globe. Workshops, meetups, and co-working spaces are abundant, offering environments where collaboration thrives. Engaging with these communities not only aids professional development but also helps in acclimatising to the local culture and language, making the experience more rewarding.
It’s important to remember that while Italy offers a delightful backdrop for work, it also demands respect for its customs and regulations . Digital nomads must be mindful of local etiquette, particularly in business interactions. While English is widely spoken, learning basic Italian phrases can go a long way in showing respect and building rapport with locals. Additionally, understanding Italian business hours and taking note of the traditional 'riposo'—a midday break—will help in planning your work schedule effectively.
In conclusion, the Digital Nomad Visa Italy is more than just a permit to live and work in Italy; it's a gateway to experiencing life in a country that values beauty, history, and the art of living well . As you blend your professional ambitions with the Italian way of life, you'll find that your work becomes imbued with a sense of passion and joy that is uniquely Italian.
