The White House announced today that the U.S. would lift the current international travel restrictions for fully vaccinated foreign nationals on Nov. 8.

Key Points:

• Air travel. Effective Nov. 8, adult foreign nationals entering the country by air will need to show proof of vaccination and a recent negative COVID-19 test. Fully vaccinated individuals will no longer be subject to the current bans on entry to many foreign nationals who have been physically present in Brazil, China, India, Iran, Ireland, South Africa, the United Kingdom or the Schengen Area in the past 14 days.
• Land travel. Effective Nov. 8, individuals entering the U.S. by land will need to show proof of vaccination if traveling for “nonessential” purposes. Unvaccinated travelers will be able to enter the country only if they can show that their travel is “essential.” More information is available here.
