Where in the world can Americans travel now?

The year 2021 may or may not have eased ambiguity surrounding health and social restrictions, but in 2022 we are in a significantly better place, and for that, we give thanks. One area yielding more wiggle room is international travel and the return thereof. Now that vaccine passports are in place, plenty of countries are open to returning and new travelers with entry requirements set as they see fit.

As of last November, foreigners traveling to the United States are required to be fully vaccinated, presenting proof of vaccination before boarding a plane. Similarly, citizens of the United States are still required to show negative tests before flying back home into this country, with many airlines providing on-site rapid test options. 

Below is our comprehensive list of countries currently admitting U.S. tourists for work or play; just make sure to study each country’s detailed U.S. Embassy pages and tourism websites for the latest information regarding travel advisories and protocols. Wherever you go, you want to stay updated and travel within your comfort zone.
