The conditions to be able to enter the USA

  • Since March 13, 2020, the American authorities had decided to prohibit access to anyone who has spent the last 14 days in European territory, with very specific exceptions, in order to curb the spread of Covid-19. With the generalization of vaccines, this rule is now shattered: all people fully vaccinated against Covid-19 can now enter the United States, without having to respect quarantine.
  • To enter the United States, you simply have to follow the usual entry formalities, present your national health pass as well as a PCR or antigen test carried out in the 3 days preceding your flight. See all the practical details in our article on the rules for traveling to the USA from November 8, 2021.
