New U.S. Entry COVID-19 Travel Requirements

On October 25, 2021, President Biden issued a proclamation ending travel bans that restricted the entry of nonimmigrants from certain countries. Instead of country-specific restrictions, a new rule was created, effective November 8, 2021, that requires all adult nonimmigrant travelers entering the United States via air travel to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19, with limited exceptions.

Note that the vaccination requirement does not apply to U.S. citizens, Lawful Permanent Residents (LPRs), and certain other travelers as explained in the attached fact sheet.
