Everywhere Americans Can Travel Without a COVID-19 Test Right Now

This far into the pandemic, in a world that’s increasingly open but still grappling with the proper safety precautions, keeping up with travel mandates can be tough. For a long time, proof of a negative COVID-19 test was the golden ticket to international travel, with a long list of specifications and supplementary requirements depending on the destination. As vaccine rates rose, some countries started relaxing their entry policies for immunized travelers. Now, we’re seeing a trend that even a few months ago might have seemed unbelievable: travel without COVID-19 testing regardless of vaccination status.

One caveat for American travelers is that the United States currently requires proof of a negative COVID-19 test to re-enter the country. Another caveat could, and perhaps should, be self-imposed: Getting tested before a trip regardless of your destination’s travel requirements is still a good decision for everyone’s safety. And with testing readily available — including 20,000 free COVID-19 test sites across the country and free at-home tests available for every household in the nation under the Biden administration — there’s no reason you shouldn’t make extra sure you can’t transmit the virus before embarking on a trip.

As always, COVID-19 travel mandates are a moving target, so you should always triple-check your destination’s entry and exit requirements. But for now, these are the places you can travel to without a COVID-19 test, however that sways your thoughts on visiting.

Countries fully vaccinated travelers can visit without a COVID-19 test

Note: The majority of these countries define fully vaccinated travelers as having two doses of an mRNA vaccine such as Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna or one dose of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine. Some countries are requiring proof of booster shots, so be sure to check your destination’s requirements.
