All passengers entering the US are required to be vaccinated against Covid-19. The requirement of the United States Department of Transportation Security has been extended until 04/10/2023.
All foreigners entering the United States, if they are not citizens of the country, are required to provide a certificate of vaccination against Covid-19 in printed or electronic form.
It was previously planned that these restrictions would be lifted from January 8, 2023, but it was decided to extend them until at least April 10. Passengers who do not have a vaccination certificate will simply not be allowed to fly to the United States.
In addition, air passengers who arrive in the States from China, Hong Kong and Macau are additionally required to provide a negative test result for COVID -19. If you have not been to these countries within 10 days before your visit to the USA, you do not need to provide a test.
