USA Opens for visitors.
The Biden Administration has taken the decision to allow vaccinated travellers into the US from early November, including traffic originating in South Africa.
These passengers will require only proof of vaccination, a negative COVID-19 test result prior to travel and, of course, the correct visa.
The new rules supersede the rules known as the 212f restrictions, which prevented anyone from entering the US if they were coming from or had been in one of 33 countries in the 14 days prior to boarding a flight bound for the US. The list of 33 countries included South Africa, the UK, Ireland, Brazil, India, Iran and China, plus the Schengen countries.
