Travellers to the United States would require proof of vaccination status prior to boarding an airplane from November 8, 2021.
A press statement by the Embassy, Friday, read in part, “Beginning on November 8, foreign national air travellers to the United States will be required, with only limited exceptions, to be fully vaccinated and to provide proof of vaccination status prior to boarding an airplane to fly to the United States.
“With the implementation of these new vaccine requirements, foreign national travelers who have been in one of the 33 countries with restrictions do not need to obtain national interest exceptions in order to travel to the United States.
According to the statement, “When it comes to testing, fully vaccinated air travelers will continue to be required to show documentation of a pre-departure negative viral test taken within three calendar days of travel to the United States before boarding.
“That includes all travelers, U.S. citizens, lawful permanent residents (LPRs), and foreign nationals. For example, if a vaccinated traveler is traveling to the United States on Saturday, they can test from Wednesday on.
“To further strengthen protections, unvaccinated travelers, whether U.S. citizens, LPRs, or the small number of excepted unvaccinated foreign nationals, will now need to show proof of a negative test within one calendar day of travel to the United States.”
