Tighter US entry rules will apply from 6 December
Rob GillTravellers to the US will face tighter new entry regulations from Monday (6 December), the Foreign Office (FCDO) has confirmed.
The White House confirmed plans to reduce its pre-departure testing window from 72 hours to 24 hours on Thursday (2 December), but did not give a date for the start of the new regime.
The change effectively means all visitors to the US – both vaccinated and unvaccinated – will have to test negative for Covid-19 within one day of travel.
“From 6 December 2021: before boarding a flight to the US, all passengers - regardless of vaccination status - will need to show a negative Covid-19 test result taken no more than one day before travel,” confirmed the FCDO in an update on its travel advice site.
