People gather on the beach in Miami Beach, Florida on June 16, 2020. – Florida is reporting record daily totals of new coronavirus cases, but you’d never know it looking at the Sunshine State’s increasingly busy beaches and hotels. (Photo by Eva Marie UZCATEGUI / AFP) (Photo by EVA MARIE UZCATEGUI/AFP via Getty Images) Once one of the world’s most powerful travel documents, the might of the US passport has shriveled during the COVID-19 pandemic. With US coronavirus cases around the 6.6 million mark, many nations continue to view America with trepidation. The European Union has omitted the United States from its list of countries whose tourists may visit. Americans still can’t vacation in their neighbor to the north, Canada, nor head to many Asian favorites such as Thailand. While most US travelers are staying close to home with short-distance car trips, some still want to go abroad. For those people, there are still popular vacation options such as Mexico, Ireland and South Korea. And the list has been slowly growing. Whether travel to “open” international destinations is responsible or advisable is up to you. It’s worth noting that since the pandemic is ongoing, anything can change at any time. The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the US State Department provide COVID-19 risk assessments by country. The vast majority on the CDC website are deemed “high risk.” The State Department categorizes most nations as Level 3, or “reconsider travel.” What follows is a list of countries, in alphabetical order, where it’s still possible for US passport holders to go for a vacation. Country-by-country breakdown Albania On the gorgeous Adriatic Sea, Albania has resumed international commercial flights. The US Embassy website states that while there’s no COVID-19 test requirements, you can expect a health screening. “Travelers should be prepared for travel restrictions to be put into effect with little or no advance notice,” it also states. Antigua and Barbuda US travelers to Antigua and Barbuda “arriving by air must present a negative COVID-19-RT-PCR (real time polymerase chain reaction) test result, taken within seven days of their flight,” according an advisory on the country’s tourism website. Visitors are subject to monitoring by health officials for 14 days and another COVID-19 test may be required, which could mean quarantining while waiting for the result. Masks are required in public spaces. Violations can involve stiff fines and even jail time. Armenia Turkey’s intriguing neighbor to the east is open for US tourists to explore. Travelers will need to take a COVID-19 PCR test upon arrival or face mandatory isolation for 14 days. Passengers who get tested must isolate until they get a negative result. A list of testing sites can be found on Zvartnots International Airport’s website. Aruba US passengers from 24 states, including California and Florida, are required to upload a negative COVID-19 test result via Aruba’s embarkation/disembarkation card process 72 hours before arrival. Travelers arriving from the other 26 states can opt to have a test taken upon arrival, though the test must be prepaid and you must quarantine while awaiting results. Aruba also requires travelers to be insured. The Aruba tourism site has all the specific health requirements for incoming passengers, which are considerable. The Bahamas The Bahamas has a mandatory 14-day quarantine for inbound passengers. Visitors must request a health visa before travel, upload and later present negative COVID-19 RT-PCR test result no more than before arrival. Updates can be found on the islands’ COVID-19 travel website. Bangladesh NEW: US citizens may travel to this culturally rich South Asian nation. The US Embassy in Bangladesh says you must have a “medical certificate with English translation” stating you’re negative for COVID-19, with the test taken within 72 hours of travel. You must also “home quarantine” for 14 days even with a negative test. Barbados Barbados implemented new safeguards for visitors and residents when it reopened in July. Travelers must complete an online immigration card, which can be done 72 hours before departure and submitted 24 hours before traveling. The form includes health questions, including whether the traveler has a negative COVID-19 test result. US travelers are encouraged to use this method rather than taking a COVID-19 PCR test upon arrival. Belarus While in the midst of mass protests, the borders of Belarus are open to Americans. There are no restrictions on entry, although passengers should expect temperature checks at Minsk National Airport. Bermuda Bermuda requires each inbound passenger (regardless of age) to apply for travel authorization, at the cost of $75 per adult and $30 for flight crew and children 9 and younger. Visitors who do not have a negative COVID-19 PCR test result will not be given authorization to travel to Bermuda. Upon arrival, passengers must present the pre-departure negative test results and submit to an additional COVID-19 test and quarantine until the results are ready. More tests are required after day three, seven and 14. Be sure you read and understand all the requirements before you go. Brazil While Brazil maintains a “Level 4 Travel Advisory (Do Not Travel) due to COVID-19” by the US State Department, its borders are open to US visitors who show proof of health insurance that is valid in Brazil and covers the entire stay. Because of the pandemic, “only emergency American Citizen Services are available at the US Embassy in Brasilia and Consulates General” throughout the country. Cambodia If you have $2,000 and want a Cambodian adventure, it’s a real option. Rules are stringent. Visitors must present a negative test taken no more than 72 hours upon arrival. You then must take another COVID-19 test, and if negative, the remaining funds will be returned minus $160 to cover the cost of the test and a fully catered day in a waiting center. A positive test result carries serious financial and social consequences, involving hospitalization, medical care and the 14-day quarantine of all fellow inbound flight passengers and additional affiliated expenses. Costa Rica As of September 1, US tourists from the following places may enter Costa Rica: Connecticut, Maine, Maryland, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Vermont, Virginia and Washington, D.C. Travelers’ residency in these states is to be verified by driver’s license. Visitors must also complete a “health pass” form show negative on COVID-19 PCR test, taken within 48 hours of travel. You must have proof of travel medical insurance, which you can get in Costa Rica. Croatia Ignoring the EU ban Americans traveling to Europe, Croatia began welcoming US tourists in July. Travelers need to present a negative COVID-19 PCR test,”not older than 48 hours (starting from the time of taking the swab until arrival at the border crossing),” according to an alert on the website of the US Embassy in Zagreb. Dominica This eastern Caribbean island reopened to international tourism in early August. All travelers to Dominica must present a negative COVID-19 PCR test result, recorded between 24 and 72 hours before arrival, and complete an electronic Immigration and Customs form via Dominica’s online portal 24 hours before traveling. US travelers should expect further testing and screening. Dominican Republic Through September 14, people traveling to the Dominican Republic have to show a negative PCR COVID-19 test on arrival that’s five days old or less. Otherwise, you are given a test and a health evaluation there. Starting September 15, DR authorities will give breath tests to no more than 10% of random passengers plus anyone showing symptoms. Dubai Visitors to Dubai must have medical travel insurance to cover any COVID-19 treatment and present a negative COVID-19 PCR test result within 96 hours of arrival. You must complete a “health declaration form” before departing to confirm they are not experiencing any coronavirus symptoms. Furthermore, “tourists are required to register all their details in the COVID-19 DXB app on arrival,” according to the Visit Dubai website. Ecuador Ecuador requires US travelers to present proof of a negative COVID-19 PCR test taken within 10 days of arrival to avoid quarantine. Testing is available for those who don’t have a negative result. You must quarantine at an approved facility while waiting for results. The Galapagos islands’ require visitors to take another COVID-19 PCR test and present negative results within 96 hours of arrival in Ecuador. Egypt All international travelers to Egypt need to present a negative PCR COVID-19 test taken within 72 hours before arrival. Travelers must present paper copies; digital copies aren’t accepted.

Arriving passengers then must take a second test that costs $150. There’s also a temperature screening. Haiti Arriving passengers must complete a health form and self-quarantine for 14 days. According to the US Embassy in Haiti, “The Ministry of Public Health will check in with passengers three times after arrival in Haiti, using information provided in the health declaration form, to determine any onset of COVID-19 symptoms.” Honduras Travel to Honduras is permitted with a negative COVID-19 PCR and/or serology test. There may also be a quarantine requirement for passengers who have symptoms. Honduras is rated Level 4: Do not travel by the US State Department. Ireland US travelers were never banned from visiting Ireland, but you must finish 14-day quarantine upon arrival and fill out a “passenger locator form.” Jamaica Jamaica requires completion of an online “travel authorization” and the possibility of being tested upon arrival. All passengers arriving from the US are required to upload negative COVID-19 test results to receive travel authorization. The test date must be less than 10 days of arrival. Be sure to read the website’s requirements carefully before you plan your trip as it has explicit instructions about taking tests and where you can go.
