Required Covid Test to Fly

When is your trip? The rules could change many times between now and then, especially considering you are dealing with multiple jurisdictions. All throughout this pandemic the rules and restrictions have changed daily/weekly/monthly.

I wouldn't personally travel internationally right now, so I haven't dealt with this. But I would do all the research you can about testing in your destination city, including getting someone on the phone to walk you through the procedures/timing. And then call again and ask someone else (because whoever you talk to may be unsure about how it actually works currently).

There's too much at stake with not being able to catch a return flight from another country to just hope it will work out.

When are you planning your honeymoon? I wouldn't be so worried about not being able to come back to the US but more about being allowed into Europe. As far as I know most European countries only have a very short list of "green" countries from which they allow tourists to come in. Right now I also wouldn't want to travel to Europe since most countries have a pretty strict lockdown. But the summer should be better.

As far as I know you are almost always able to go home as long as there are flights (probably with quarantine or a negative test or both depending on state).

I am waiting and hoping for the US to let non-citizens enter from Europe so that my friends and family can come to my wedding in March. Is the new rule about negative covid tests also for all non Americans entering on tourist visas?

Thank you!

Honestly, I am not very hopeful that they will be able to come. It is hard but I was aware of that possibility when we set our date and started planning. Everyone was okay with this decision. If I knew for sure that travel would be allowed in the summer maybe we would have set our date for later (we get married March 20) but since no one knows for sure we didn't want to wait.

I just found the official link:

https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/travelers/testing-international-air-travelers.html

It says it doesn't replace the presidential proclamations about travel restrictions. :-(

But for all Americans who are honeymooning outside the State the cdc-website has helpful information.

Please wait a few days before checking regulations, as they are likely to change.

Nearly all European countries have better testing than we do, and they also have travel restrictions. You'll need to keep an eye on *both*.

That said, September is a long way away, and things can be *very* different by then.
