Via Presidential Proclamation and beginning on and after November 8, 2021, foreign nationals who possess valid visas, along with proof of COVID-19 vaccination can finally fly to the United States. They must also follow the pre-requisite three (3) day COVID testing requirement. The updated policy signals the gradual resumption of international air travel for foreign visitors to the U.S. who have been restricted from coming to the U.S. ever since the various travel restrictions were first imposed shortly after the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in the spring of 2020. This new policy still leaves in place the land border crossing restrictions that are currently in place between the U.S. and Canada, and between the U.S. and Mexico, which is still restricted to essential travel only. The expectation is that announcements for land border crossing policy changes will be unveiled soon as well.
