Effective July 1, all non-essential travel from the U.S.A. to the European Union’s 27 member states has been banned. There are only a few exceptions, and these will probably not apply to you.
Note that the ban is based on residency……not citizenship. Someone arriving from the U.S., who is a citizen or resident in the EU–or in one of the countries listed below, can enter.
Also banned are residents of Brazil, Russia and India.
The following 27 countries are members of the European Union:
Austria
Belgium
Bulgaria
Croatia
Cyprus
Czechia
Denmark
Estonia
Finland
France
Germany
Greece
Hungary
Ireland
Italy
Latvia
Lithuania
Luxembourg
Malta
Netherlands
Poland
Portugal
Romania
Slovakia
Slovenia
Spain
Sweden
Residents of the following countries that are not members of the E.U. are allowed entry:
Algeria
Australia
Canada
Georgia
Japan
Montenegro
Morocco
New Zealand
Rwanda
Serbia
South Korea
Thailand
Tunisia
Uruguay
China (subject to confirmation of reciprocity)
Just to add to the confusion, each country will determine its own specific way of enforcing the ban. It is not known how long this ban will be in effect, but obviously it will spoil most travel plans for the summer and probably in to the fall.
And, as usual, everything keeps changing, so we will do our best to keep you updated.
