Countries Allowing Vaccinated Travelers

Where can vaccinated travelers go? Here are the countries allowing vaccinated travelers in 2021.

This list only contains countries where travelers may enter with just proof of a vaccine (and no other requirements, such as presenting a negative COVID-19 test, or submitting to quarantine.)

The countries on this list are all open to American travelers, but be sure to double-check with your country’s embassy if you’re traveling from somewhere other than the United States.

I will update this list regularly as more countries open to vaccinated travelers.

Last Updated: April 20, 2021

Belize

Travelers can enter Belize with proof of a vaccine administered at least two weeks prior to traveling. Unvaccinated travelers can still enter the country as long as they have a negative PCR test taken within 96 hours prior to traveling, or a negative rapid antigen test taken within 48 hours prior to traveling. Children under the age of five are exempt.

Croatia

Croatia has reopened to vaccinated tourists who have proof of the vaccine administered at least two weeks prior to traveling.

Alternatively, you can present a negative PCR test taken within 48 hours prior to traveling. (The same rule applies for rapid antigen tests, but a second test must be taken 10 days later if the traveler is still in Croatia.) Travelers who were diagnosed with and recovered from COVID-19 no more than 180 days prior to arrival are also able to enter.

Children under the age of seven are exempt.

Additionally, all travelers to Croatia must have proof of accommodation that has already been paid for. (The reservation alone is not enough.)

Ecuador

Anyone can enter Ecuador if they have a COVID-19 vaccine certificate. Unvaccinated travelers can still enter as long as they have a negative PCR test or negative rapid antigen test taken within 72 hours prior to traveling. Also, anyone who was diagnosed with and recovered from COVID-19 is able to enter with medical proof. Children under the age of two are exempt.

Travelers will also undergo a screening upon arrival at the airport in Ecuador by the health ministry, and may be required to take a rapid antigen test. If it comes back positive, the traveler must isolate for 10 days at their own expense.

Georgia

Georgia is open to vaccinated travelers with a vaccine certificate. Alternatively, you can present a negative PCR test taken within 72 hours prior to traveling. A second negative PCR test must be submitted on your third day in Georgia.

Greece

If you’ve been dreaming about seeing ancient ruins in Athens or sitting on the beach in Mykonos, now you can. Greece has reopened to vaccinated travelers, or travelers with a negative PCR test taken within 72 hours prior to traveling.

Guatemala

Travelers can enter Guatemala with proof of a vaccine administered at least two weeks prior to traveling. If you are not vaccinated, you can still visit Guatemala with a negative PCR or rapid antigen test taken within 72 hours prior to traveling. Travelers who were diagnosed with and recovered from COVID-19 no more than 90 days prior to arrival are also able to enter.

Children under the age of ten are exempt.

Iceland

All vaccinated travelers are welcome in Iceland with proof of a vaccine certificate. As of right now, there is no alternative way to enter the country with just a negative test; it is only open to vaccinated travelers.

Montenegro

Montenegro is accepting travelers who have proof of a vaccine administered at least one week prior to traveling. Another option is presenting a negative PCR test taken within 72 hours of traveling.

Panama

The Central American country of Panama is now welcoming travelers who have been vaccinated, allowing them to bypass testing requirements. You can also still present a negative PCR or antigen test taken within 72 hours prior to traveling in order to enter the country.
