The proclamation issued by President Biden will lift the four current geographic travel ban restrictions and replace them with a global requirement that "noncitizens who are nonimmigrants" traveling to the United States by air from any part of the world establish that they are fully vaccinated, with some limited exceptions. The proclamation will be effective November 8, 2021.
“Noncitizens who are nonimmigrants” travelling by air must show proof of negative COVID viral test taken within three days of travel to the United States and documentation that they are either fully vaccinated or eligible for an exception to the vaccination requirement. Please note that the exception applies to a very small number of foreign nationals.
