U.S. land borders opening to all travelers on November 8, 2021
Wednesday, November 3, 2021 at 2:47PM As long as they are fully vaccinated against COVID-19.
CBP has confirmed that non-essential travelers entering the U.S. by land will not have to show proof of a negative COVID-19 test, but said that travelers should be prepared to present vaccination documentation upon request by inspecting officers.
Applicants for admission to the U.S. via land must have all recommended doses of a COVID-19 vaccine authorized by U.S. regulators or the World Health Origanization ("WHO"). WHO-approved vaccines include Moderna, Pfizer-BioNTech, Oxford-AstraZeneca and its Indian-made counterpart, Covishield. The U.S. will also accept any combination of these vaccines, such as a mix of AstraZeneca and Moderna.
Children under 18 will be exempt from these vaccination requirements.
Essential travelers may continue to enter the U.S. without being subject to the vaccination requirement until January 2022 when all travelers, both essential and non-essential, will be required to show proof of vaccination against COVID-19.
