COVID-19 Travel Information

1. COVID-19 Testing and Proof of Negative Test

Many countries require proof of a negative COVID-19 test taken within a specific time frame before entry. Ensure you are aware of the type of test (PCR, antigen, etc.) and the timing required.

2. Vaccination Certificates

Several countries have made it mandatory for travelers to present a COVID-19 vaccination certificate, indicating that they have been fully vaccinated with an approved vaccine. The definition of “fully vaccinated” may vary by country.

3. Quarantine and Isolation Requirements

Depending on the country and your vaccination status, you may be required to quarantine upon arrival. Some countries have specific facilities designated for quarantine, while others may allow self-isolation at a place of your choosing.

4. Health and Travel Insurance

Travelers may need to provide proof of health and/or travel insurance covering COVID-19 treatment and related expenses. Check the specific insurance requirements for your destination country.

5. Health Declaration Forms

Many countries require travelers to complete health declaration forms, providing information about their health status, travel history, and contact details. These forms may be available online or provided by airlines.

6. COVID-19 Contact Tracing Apps

Some countries recommend or require the use of contact tracing apps while in the country. Downloading and registering on such apps may be mandatory before or upon arrival.
