Countries Open To U.S. Travelers And Require No PCR Test, Vaccination, or Quarantine

Are there any countries with relaxed entry requirements?

Navigating travel during this pandemic can get a bit overwhelming. International exit and entry requirements are constantly changing. Many countries have recently reopened either fully or partially. However, not all are welcoming American tourists arriving from the US and, if they are, it’s not without restrictions. A lot of travelers have been vaccinated and are, therefore, able to travel to more places. On the other hand, there are a lot of travelers who are unvaccinated or weary of the COVID test. Without proof of vaccination (or a vaccination wavier) or a PCR test, it’s pretty difficult to travel internationally these days. I managed to find a handful of countries open to US travelers and require no PCR test, vaccination, or quarantine.

Be aware that even though many countries have opened their borders, there are still strong advisories against visiting them during the pandemic. However, if you must, be sure to take proper precautions and follow each country’s safety guidelines.

Here, I have provided a list of countries open to US travelers that require no COVID-19 testing, vaccination, or quarantine for entry. These are the entry requirements at the time of my writing this post. I’ll update this list if any restrictions are imposed or if any other countries open without the aforementioned restrictions.
