The exemptions mean that all those who have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19 will be allowed to travel to Iceland without being subject to border measures, such as testing and quarantine. For details please click here: All information, developments, and advice about Iceland and COVID-19 can be found at the designated COVID-19 website for Iceland, the Directorate of Health and the Department of Civil Protection and Emergency Management.
Greece:
Greece will allow entry for residents of the United States, EU and Schengen states, and certain other countries. All travelers over the age of five must present a negative PCR test for entry. However, travelers who have proof they have completed COVID-19 vaccination at least 14 days prior to arrival in Greece are not required to present proof of a negative PCR test. Please review Protocols for Arrivals in and Departures from Greece for details on entry requirements and other health-related rules for travelers. Be aware transit countries may have differing requirements and timeframes for testing.
France:
The president of France has laid out a reopening plan that would allow “foreign tourists” with a health pass (tied to being fully vaccinated or having a negative COVID-19 PCR test) to enter France beginning June 9, 2021 if COVID-19 levels remain under control. It is not yet known if travelers from the United States will be included among the foreign tourists allowed to enter. Nor does the U.S. Embassy have any information at this time about what the “health pass” will be or how to obtain one.
Italy:
On May 14, the Italian government issued a new decree stating that Italy will be expanding the availability of what it calls “COVID-tested flights” to all American passengers effective May 16. To fly on the COVID-tested flights from the U.S. to Italy, all customers are required to complete mandatory testing, both before departure and on arrival, regardless of their vaccination status. After receiving a negative test result on all tests, customers will not need to quarantine in Italy and can resume their travels.
In light of the new development, Delta Air Lines and American Airlines are making their quarantine-free flights to Rome and Milan available to all customers who submit to the COVID-19 testing requirements. Delta made the announcement on May 14, and American followed suit on May 16.
These are the exact testing requirements:
Take a COVID-19 polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test no more than 72 hours before departure
Take a rapid antigen test at the airport in the U.S. prior to boarding
Take a rapid antigen test on arrival in Italy
Travelers will also need to take a COVID-19 test no more than three days prior to their return flight to the United States to satisfy the U.S. testing requirement for international arrivals.
Ireland:
US travelers are still allowed to visit, but restrictions on movement could make it a very limited vacation. You must fill out a passenger locator form -- failure to do so could result in fine or even jail time. You must present a negative Covid-19 RT- PCR test result taken within the previous 72 hours to enter. There's a mandatory 14-day quarantine for all arriving Americans regardless of Covid-19 or vaccination status. Additional info: US Embassy | Irish government travel page.
Spain:
Spain's borders will reopen to vaccinated travelers, including Americans, from outside the European Union on June 7. Travelers who have been fully vaccinated with an approved vaccine are allowed to enter Spain, no matter their origin country. Beginning May 24, travelers from countries outside the EU that have been deemed a low coronavirus risk — like Australia and New Zealand — will be able to enter Spain without presenting a negative PCR test.
Switzerland:
