In this article, we\u2019ll go in-depth about the entry requirements to the United States, what type of PCR tests are required, and more.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Entry_Requirements_to_The_United_States\"><\/span>Entry Requirements to The United States <strong><br \/><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>On January 26, the\u202fCenters for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) stated that all air passengers entering the United States (including U.S.\u202fcitizens and permanent residents) need to provide proof of a negative COVID-19 test.<\/p>\n<p>As with typical entry requirements, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection are looking to make sure that the test is negative and taken within the last 3 days before departure. However, children under 2 years of age do not need to take a PCR test.<\/p>\n<p>Those who have recovered from the coronavirus are eligible to provide proof of recovery instead. This can be presented in the form of a letter from a licensed health care provider or public health official stating that the passenger has been cleared for travel (also known as a Documentation of Recovery).<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s important to have your proof prepared before traveling: make sure you have a printout of the test results (or proof of recovery). This is because you may be asked to provide your evidence before boarding the airplane. If you don\u2019t show the correct documentation, airlines may prevent you from boarding.<\/p>\n<p>Once in the United States, all arrivals are encouraged to self-isolate for 7 days just in case.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Entry_Requirements_for_Transiting_Passengers_in_The_United_States\"><\/span>Entry Requirements for Transiting Passengers in The United States <strong><br \/><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Oftentimes, there are different requirements for travelers who are simply transiting through a country.<\/p>\n<p>However, the US government notes that every passenger entering the United States, even for a connection or layover, must have a negative PCR test before departure.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Are_Vaccinated_Passengers_Exempt_From_PCR_Testing\"><\/span>Are Vaccinated Passengers Exempt From PCR Testing? <strong><br \/><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Vaccinations are gaining momentum as they roll out across the world.
