Destination Description

See the Department of State’s Fact Sheet on Poland for information on U.S.-Poland relations.

Entry, Exit and Visa Requirements

U.S. citizens are restricted from entering Poland from Belarus and Russia unless they meet one of the exceptions currently in place. You may find the current list of exceptions at the following websites: 

Polish Border Guard website listing exceptions in English and Polish

Polish Border Guard website noting the legal basis for the current restrictions in Polish

Sejm (Polish Parliament) website with the legislation for the current restrictions in Polish

U.S. citizens who do not meet one of the listed exceptions, but who want to return/evacuate from Belarus to the United States in transit through Poland or who need to enter Poland for humanitarian reasons, may seek a special permit to enter Poland only at the border crossing point in Brest-Terespol.

Traveling Through Europe : If you are planning to visit or travel through European countries, you should be familiar with the requirements of the Schengen Agreement. 

  • Your passport should be valid for at least three months beyond the period of stay. If you plan on transiting a Schengen country, review our U.S. Travelers in Europe page .
  • You will need sufficient proof of funds and a return plane ticket .
  • For additional information about visas for the Schengen area, see the Schengen Visa page.

Military/Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA) Travelers : Active-duty U.S. military personnel may enter Poland under the SOFA with proper Department of Defense (DOD) identification and travel orders. All SOFA family members, civilian employees, and contractors must have valid passports. Active-duty military personnel should obtain a tourist passport before leaving the United States to accommodate off-duty travel. DOD travelers should consult with their unit for clearance  before  leaving the United States.

If you are transiting Poland  en route  to other countries,  know all entry and exit requirements for your final destination . You may be denied boarding for your connecting flight if you have incorrect documentation or insufficient validity on your passport. If you are denied boarding, you will need sufficient funds and a return airline ticket or an itinerary that does not require re-entry into the Schengen zone in order to return to the United States.

For further information on entry requirements and current visa information, please contact the consular section of the  Embassy of Poland , 2224 Wyoming Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20008, (202) 499-1700, or a Polish consulate in Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, or Houston.

The U.S. Department of State is unaware of any  HIV/AIDS entry restrictions  for visitors to or foreign residents of Poland.

Find information on  dual nationality ,  prevention of international child abduction,  and  customs  on our websites.

Safety and Security

Terrorism: Terrorist groups and those inspired by such organizations are intent on attacking U.S. citizens abroad. Terrorists are increasingly using less sophisticated methods of attack – including knives, firearms, and vehicles – to more effectively target crowds. Frequently, their aim is unprotected or vulnerable targets, such as:

  • High-profile public events (sporting contests, political rallies, demonstrations, holiday events, celebratory gatherings, etc.)
  • Hotels, clubs, and restaurants frequented by tourists
  • Places of worship
  • Shopping malls and markets
  • Public transportation systems (including subways, buses, trains, and scheduled commercial flights)

For more information, see our Terrorism page.

Crime: While Poland has a low crime rate overall, the risk of crime is higher in major cities.

  • Safeguard your belongings in public areas . Thieves and pickpockets operate at major tourist destinations, railroad stations, and on trains (particularly overnight trains), trams, and buses. Report incidents of theft to the police.
  • Do not leave valuables in plain sight inside vehicles .
  • If someone directs you to pull over or signals that something is wrong with your car,  continue driving until you reach a safe spot  (such as a crowded gas station, supermarket, or a police station) to inspect your vehicle.
  • Only change money at banks or legitimate exchange kiosks (kantor). ATMs at commercial banks, large hotels, shopping malls, and airports are safest.
  • While casinos and gaming establishments are government-regulated, some are affiliated with or have attracted the interest of  organized crime.
  • Avoid adult entertainment venues . Such establishments have been known to present foreign customers with inflated charges and threaten those who refuse to pay. There have been some incidents of suspected drink spiking associated with these venues.
  • Travel in a group  when going out at night to nightclubs, discos, bars, or high-tourism areas, such as the Market Square in Krakow and Old Town in Warsaw.

Demonstrations  occur frequently. They may take place in response to political or economic issues, on politically significant holidays, and during international events. 

  • Demonstrations can be unpredictable; avoid areas around protests and demonstrations. 
  • Past demonstrations have turned violent.
  • Check local media for updates and traffic advisories.

International Financial Scams: See the  Department of State  and the  FBI  pages for information.

Internet romance and financial scams are prevalent in Poland. Scams are often initiated through Internet postings/profiles or by unsolicited emails and letters. Most scammers pose as U.S. citizens who have no one else to turn to for help.

Tips to avoid scammers:

  • Look for red flags like their location is far away, their profile was recently created or seems to be too good to be true, the pace of the relationship is moving too quickly, or they ask for money.
  • Set up a phone call/video chat in the initial stages.
  • Do a reverse image search on the profile picture.
  • If they ask for help, you should refer them to the closest U.S. Embassy or Consulate so we can work with local authorities to assist.
  •  If you believe you have been scammed, report the incident to local law enforcement right away and stop all communications with the scammer.

Common scams include:

  • Romance/Online dating
  • Money transfers
  • Lucrative sales
  • Gold purchase
  • Contracts with promises of large commissions
  • Grandparent/Relative targeting (kidnapping, arrested, medical emergency)
  • Free Trip/Luggage
  • Inheritance notices
  • Work permits/job offers
  • Bank overpayments

Technology Usage Abroad: Mobiles Devices are vulnerable to compromise, theft, and physical damage anywhere in the world. Best practices prior to traveling abroad are keeping all software (operating system and apps) updated and use virtual private network and encrypted voice over IP (VoIP) applications if possible. Make sure that all VPN/VoIP are reputable and U.S. based. Do not connect to unknown open Wi-Fi. GPS navigation apps are helpful in getting U.S. citizens around in a foreign country. Prior to using a GPS app, make sure you research the route to make sure it is safe. GPS navigation apps may give you the shortest route without safety considerations. Be cautious of using dating apps/online dating websites abroad as U.S. citizens can be targeted by scammers. Make sure to inform your friends and family of your whereabouts, meet at a well-known public location, and do not consume suspicious food or drinks. Avoid traveling alone to bars or nightclubs.

Victims of Crime: U.S. citizen victims of sexual assault should first contact the local police. Report crimes to the local police by  calling 112  (multilingual emergency dispatch centers serving Poland and EU countries), and contact the  U.S. Embassy  in Warsaw at +48 (22) 504-2000 or the U.S. Consulate in Krakow at +48 (12) 424-5100. Local authorities are responsible for investigating and prosecuting crimes.

See our webpage on  help for U.S. victims of crime overseas .

  • Provide a  list of health care providers  in Poland
  • Assist you in reporting a crime to the police
  • Contact relatives or friends with your written consent
  • Explain the local criminal justice process in general terms
  • Provide a list of  local attorneys
  • Provide information on  victim’s compensation programs in the United States. A list of organizations providing assistance programs for victims of crimes in Poland is available on the website of the Ministry of Justice  here .
  • Provide an emergency loan for repatriation to the United States and/or limited medical support
  • Help you find accommodation and arrange flights home
  • Replace a stolen or lost passport

Domestic Violence: U.S. citizen victims of domestic violence should contact local authorities and the U.S. Embassy in Warsaw or the U.S. Consulate in Krakow for assistance.

Tourism: The tourism industry is generally regulated. Rules (with regards to best practices and safety inspections) are regularly enforced. Hazardous areas/activities are identified with appropriate signage and professional staff is typically on hand in support of organized activities. In the event of an injury, appropriate medical treatment is widely available throughout the country. Outside of a major metropolitan center, it may take more time for first responders and medical professionals to stabilize a patient and provide life-saving assistance. U.S. citizens are encouraged to purchase medical evacuation insurance. See our webpage for more information on insurance providers .

Local Laws & Special Circumstances

Criminal Penalties: You are subject to local laws. If you violate local laws, even unknowingly, you may be arrested, imprisoned, or deported. A U.S. passport will not help you avoid arrest or prosecution.

Furthermore, some crimes are also prosecutable in the United States, regardless of local law. For examples, see our website on  crimes against minors abroad  and the  Department of Justice  website.

Arrest Notification: If you are arrested or detained, ask the police or prison officials to notify the U.S. Embassy or Consulate immediately . Under Polish law, a person with Polish and U.S. citizenship is deemed to be a Polish citizen; however, dual U.S.-Polish nationals may still ask to see a U.S. consular officer. See our  webpage  for further information.

Special Circumstances: Polish Law prohibits possession of firearms or ammunition without proper permits. In Poland, it is illegal to possess, carry, transport, import or export arms or ammunition without proper authorization. Polish law broadly defines the meaning of “arms” to include items that may put life or health at risk, which may include parts of firearms or ammunition. Travelers have been arrested who were in possession of military items without proper permits. Please visit the Government of Poland’s website to find out more about obtaining a permit and our website on traveling with firearms .

Polish Customs enforces strict regulations concerning the export of items such as works of art. Contact the  Polish Embassy  in Washington, D.C., or a Polish consulate in Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, or Houston for specific information regarding customs requirements.

Taking pictures of Polish military buildings or other national security/restricted objects is illegal.

Penalties are severe for possessing, using, or trafficking  illegal drugs  in Poland. Expect  long jail sentences  and  heavy fines  if convicted.

Local police can stop a car and request identification to establish identity and may ask the driver subsequent questions.

Individuals establishing a business or practicing a profession that requires additional permits or licensing should seek information from the competent local authorities prior to practicing or operating a business. Information about conducting business in Poland can be found at the  U.S. Embassy’s website .

Counterfeit and Pirated Goods: Although counterfeit and pirated goods are prevalent in many countries, including Poland, they may still be illegal according to local laws. Possessing or purchasing them is against the law. You may be subject to heavy fines and even imprisonment. You must also relinquish the items if you bring them back to the United States. For more information, see the  U.S. Department of Justice website , the  Polish Ministry of Finance Customs Department, and the European Commission .

Faith-Based Travelers: See the following webpages for details:

  • Faith-Based Travel Information
  • International Religious Freedom Report – see country reports
  • Human Rights Report – see country reports
  • Hajj Fact Sheet for Travelers
  • Best Practices for Volunteering Abroad

International Volunteers:

LGBTQI+ Travelers : There are  no legal restrictions  on either consensual same-sex sexual conduct between adults or the organization of LGBTQI+ events in Poland. Polish law prohibits discrimination in employment on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity and the government enforces these provisions. The social acceptance of LGBTQI+ individuals is not as prevalent  as in the United States, though polling indicates tolerance is steadily increasing. Some politicians have made derogatory comments about LGBTQI+ persons. Media have not recently reported on physical and verbal attacks against LGBTQI+ persons, but community members have reported concerns about their physical safety. Travelers identifying openly as LGBTQI+ may face harassment. The practice of so-called conversion therapy is legal and offered on a voluntary basis. See our  LGBTQI+ Travel Information  page and section six of our  Human Rights report  for further details.

Travelers with Disabilities : Polish law prohibits discrimination against persons with physical, sensory, intellectual, or mental disabilities, but some discrimination occurs. Polish law states that buildings should be accessible for persons with disabilities, but in practice, many buildings remain inaccessible. Newer public trains, vehicles, and stations may be accessible, but older ones are not. Wheelchair users will find many challenges throughout the country. Service animals are generally allowed in public buildings and on transportation. Pedestrian crossings at intersections in large cities are generally equipped with audible crossing signals.

Students: See our  students abroad  page and  FBI travel tips .

Women Travelers : See our travel tips for  women travelers .

Adequate medical care is available, but the quality of hospitals and nursing support may not be comparable to U.S. standards in all regions of Poland . Emergency services may be lacking in small towns and rural areas. Physicians are generally well-trained, and many younger doctors speak English (nurses and staff may not). While medication and treatment are generally substantially less costly than in the United States,  doctors and hospitals often expect cash payment prior to treatment . Private hospitals usually require advance payment or proof of adequate insurance before admitting a patient. Patients bear all costs for transfer to or between hospitals. Medication, while generally available, may not be U.S. brand-name drugs.

For emergency services in Poland,  dial 112 . Ambulance services are widely available. 

The U.S. Embassy maintains a  list of doctors and hospitals . We do not endorse or recommend any specific medical provider or clinic.

The U.S. government does not pay overseas medical bills . Be aware that U.S. Medicare/Medicaid does not apply overseas. Most hospitals and doctors overseas do not accept U.S. health insurance in lieu of payment at the time services are provided.

Medical Insurance: Make sure your health insurance plan provides coverage overseas. Most care providers overseas only accept cash payments up front, and you will have to seek reimbursement later from your medical insurance. See  our webpage  for more information on insurance providers for overseas coverage. Visit the  U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention  for more information on type of insurance you should consider before you travel overseas.

We strongly recommend  supplemental insurance  to cover medical evacuation.

Always carry your prescription medication in original packaging, along with your doctor’s prescription. Check with the  Ministry of Health Poland  to ensure the medication is legal in Poland and the Chief Pharmaceutical Inspectorate to find information on traveling to and from Poland with narcotic and psychotropic medications.

Vaccinations: The CDC does not recommend and there is no requirement for specific vaccinations for U.S. citizen travelers.

Further health information:

  • World Health Organization
  • U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)

Medical Tourism and Elective Surgery : Medical tourism is a rapidly growing industry. U.S. citizens traveling to Poland for medical tourism or elective surgery should understand that medical systems operate differently from those in the United States and are not subject to the same rules and regulations. Anyone interested in traveling for medical purposes should consult with their local physician before traveling and visit the  U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention  website for more information on Medical Tourism.

We strongly recommend  supplemental insurance  to cover medical evacuation in the event of unforeseen medical complications.

Pharmaceuticals : U.S. Customs and Border Protection and the Food and Drug Administration are responsible for rules governing the transport of medication back to the United States. Medication purchased abroad must meet their requirements to be legally brought back into the United States. Medication should be for personal use and must be approved for use in the United States. Please visit the  U.S. Customs and Border Protection  and the  Food and Drug Administration  websites for more information.

Water Quality:  Food and water standards in Poland are similar to those in the United States. Most travelers do not need to take special food or water precautions beyond what they normally do at home. For more information please visit  CDC Traveler’s Health.

Adventure Travel:

  • Visit the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website for more information about  Adventure Travel .

Air Quality:

  • Cities in Poland have higher air pollution levels than major U.S. cities. Especially in Krakow, levels are often above U.S. health-based standards in the winter. Air quality is often good to moderate during warmer months. Visit  the European Environment Agency’s website  for information on air quality in Poland.

Travel and Transportation

Road Conditions and Safety: Road conditions in Poland differ significantly from those in the United States. Poland has the fourth-highest road fatality rate based on population in the European Union. Driving, especially after dark, is hazardous. Roads are sometimes narrow, poorly lit, frequently under repair (especially in summer), and are often also used by pedestrians and cyclists. Pedestrians account for approximately one-fourth of all traffic fatalities in Poland. 

  • Polish roadside services, while not equal to those in the United States, are adequate. The Polish Automobile Association ( Polski Związek Motorowy Auto-Tour ) has multilingual operators and provides assistance countrywide 24/7. Call (22) 532-8403 or email  [email protected] .
  • The police emergency number is  997 , fire service is  998 , ambulance service is  999 , and the general emergency number is  112.

Traffic Laws: You must have a U.S. driver's license and International Driving Permit (IDP) in order to drive in Poland . U.S. citizens  cannot  obtain IDPs in Poland. If you stay in Poland for more than six months and continue to drive, you must obtain a Polish driver’s license. You can find information on obtaining an International Driving Permit  here .

  • Seat belt use is mandatory .
  • Use headlights year-round at all times .
  • Children under 12 must sit in rear seats . Children under 12 and shorter than 4’11” must use a child’s car seat.
  • Using hand-held cell phones while driving is prohibited .
  • Polish law provides zero tolerance for driving under the influence of alcohol/drugs . Prison sentences for DUI violations or accidents caused by impaired drivers can range from two to twelve years. 
  • Fines for traffic violations can be substantial . Non-residents are expected to pay the police officer at the time the ticket is issued. Be prepared to pay in cash in local currency.

Public Transportation : Public transportation in Poland is efficient, inexpensive, and safe. A ticket is required when boarding a bus or tram and if the ticket is not validated upon entry, you may be fined. In cities, taxis are available at major hotels and designated taxi stands and can be ordered in advance by phone.

Avoid taxis without a company name and/or telephone number printed on the light bar . Make sure that the driver displays his or her license inside the vehicle, has a functioning meter, and uses the meter when starting your trip. At airports in Poland, including Warsaw’s Chopin Airport, only use taxis found at designated stands and avoid unregistered taxi stalls.

Apps-based Ride Sharing: Internet-based ride services, such as Uber, iTaxi, and Freenow, are legal in Poland and growing in popularity as a safe ride option. Some ride service apps offer rides for women by women drivers. However, some internet-based ride services may not be authorized to drop off or pick up patrons in some downtown tourist areas.

See our  Road Safety  page for more information. Also, visit  Poland’s National Tourist Office  and Poland’s  General Roads and Highways Authority  responsible for road safety information.

Aviation Safety Oversight:   The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has assessed the government of Poland’s Civil Aviation Authority as compliant with International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) aviation safety standards for oversight of Poland’s air carrier operations. Further information may be found on the  FAA’s safety assessment page . 

Maritime Travel: Mariners planning travel to Poland should also check for U.S. maritime advisories and alerts . Information may also be posted to the U.S. Coast Guard homeport website , and the NGA broadcast warnings .

Safety and security

There is a high threat of terrorist attack globally affecting UK interests and British nationals, including from groups and individuals who view the UK and British nationals as targets. You should remain vigilant at all times.

UK Counter Terrorism Policing has information and advice on staying safe abroad and what to do in the event of a terrorist attack. Find out more about the global threat from terrorism .

Terrorism in Poland

Terrorist attacks in Poland cannot be ruled out.

Ukraine border

FCDO  advises against all but essential travel to the following western regions (oblasts) of Ukraine: 

  • Zakarpattia 
  • Ivano-Frankivsk 
  • Chernivtsi 

FCDO advises against all travel to within 50km of the borders of Volyn, Rivne and Zhytomyr with Belarus and the rest of Ukraine.

For the latest information, check the Ukraine travel advice . There have been Russian military strikes in Ukraine within 20km of the Polish border. In 2022, there was an explosion in Przewodów near the Ukrainian border killing 2 Polish nationals.

The main border crossing points to enter Poland from Ukraine can be found on the  Ukrainian government website . Prepare for potential long delays at border crossings.

Access to within 15 metres of the Polish border with Ukraine is restricted. Follow this limitation at all times outside of designated border crossing points and follow the instructions of Polish authorities if you are in this area.

If you have arrived in Poland from Ukraine and are in need of assistance, call +48 22 311 0000 or +44 1908 516666 and select the option for ‘consular services for British nationals’. You can also send an enquiry using the  web contact form .

Other Polish borders

Border checkpoints may close or implement restrictions at short notice and other disruption is possible. Check the Polish Border Guards guidance (in Polish) and follow the instructions of the Polish authorities if you are in these areas.

Political situation and demonstrations

Public demonstrations are common. Marches and gatherings are mostly peaceful and well-policed, but take extra care in crowded places. Demonstrations can attract violence. Monitor local media and follow the instructions of local authorities.

Racially motivated attacks

Most visitors do not experience any difficulties. Serious crime against foreigners is rare, but crimes do occur and in some cases attacks have been racially motivated.

Protecting your belongings

Be alert to street crime and petty theft. Foreigners can be seen as easy targets. Keep valuables and cash out of sight, especially:

  • in crowded areas
  • in tourist spots
  • at main rail stations and on all train services and overnight sleeper trains

Unofficial taxi drivers

Unofficial taxi drivers often overcharge. Passengers have been attacked, including sexual assaults, in unofficial taxis and cars booked using ride share apps. See further advice from the Polish police (in Polish) .

Do not use unofficial taxis. Official taxis will:

  • have the name and telephone number of the taxi company on the door and top of the taxi
  • show a rate card on the window of the vehicle

Taxis with a crest but no company name are not official.

Take precautions, particularly at night or if you are alone.

Drink and food spiking

Victims of spiked drinks have been robbed in bars and clubs. Be careful about taking drinks from strangers or leaving your drink or food unattended.

Overcharging in bars

Check your bill carefully when buying drinks in bars and nightclubs. Visitors have been overcharged large amounts when paying for drinks by debit or credit card.

Sexual assault

There is advice for victims of rape or sexual assault in Poland .

Laws and cultural differences

Dual nationals.

Dual Polish-British nationals will be treated as a Polish national if arrested or detained by the Polish authorities.

Alcohol laws

It is illegal to drink alcohol in public places. If caught, you might be fined.

If you are drunk in a public place, you could be taken to a clinic to be medically assessed. You will have to stay there until you are sober, including overnight. You will have to pay for the cost of your stay.

LGBT+ travellers

Small towns and rural areas can be less tolerant towards LGBT+ travellers. There are gay and LGBT+-friendly restaurants, clubs and bars in many towns and cities including Warsaw, Krakow, Wroclaw, Poznan, Gdansk and Sopot.

Same-sex relationships are legal and same sex partners can live together, but same-sex marriages and civil partnerships are not recognised under Polish law.

Read more advice for LGBT+ travellers .

You could be fined if you are caught jaywalking.

Photography

Avoid taking photographs of military or other security installations and other buildings or items of national infrastructure where there are signs prohibiting photography.

Transport risks

Wear reflective clothing.

Walkers and cyclists must wear a reflective item at night in non built-up areas. You may be held responsible if you are involved in an accident and not wearing a reflective item. You could be fined 100 Polish zloty (around £20) if you don’t have a reflective item.

Public transport

Validate a public transport ticket at the start of a journey. You will be fined if you travel on an invalid or unvalidated ticket.

Road travel

If you are planning to drive in Poland, see information on driving abroad and read the RAC guide .

Poland is a major east-west transit route for heavy vehicles. The road network is being constantly upgraded, and roadworks are frequent, particularly in summer. Even some main roads between major towns and cities can be narrow and poorly surfaced, making driving after dark particularly challenging.

Most car rental companies will not allow you to take your hire car across the Poland/Ukraine border.

Licences and permits

You can drive in Poland with your UK photocard driving licence without the need for an international driving permit ( IDP ).

If you’re living in Poland, check the Living in Poland guide for information on the rules for residents.

When driving, always have your:

  • driving licence
  • car registration papers
  • car ownership papers
  • insurance papers

You will need to show these documents if you are stopped by the police or if you cross non-Schengen borders. This includes rental vehicles. If you do not have these papers the police may take your vehicle and charge you for this. If you drive a vehicle in Poland it must meet local technical requirements.

Driving a British car abroad

You may need a UK sticker to drive your car outside the UK. From 2021 UK stickers have replaced GB stickers. Check guidance on displaying number plates for more information on what to do if you are driving outside the UK.

You may need to pay a road toll on some parts of motorways, expressways and national roads. More information is available on the toll operator website .

Due to travel next Wednesday, with the COVID infections on the rise what is the likelihood restrictions will be implemented before then? Mainly bars and restaurants being forced to close

' class=

There is a very low likelihood that restrictions will be implemented before then. Bars and restaurants will not be forced to close. Have fun!

Thanks for the positive reply 😊

krakow covid travel restrictions

The rise has been so far mostly limited to eastern and north-eastern Poland which is not at all surprising as those regions are well below average in vaccinations. No decisions have been taken so far on new restrictions but it is quite certain they will be limited to most affected areas.

Bottom line: if you are fully vaccinated, don't be afraid of booking a trip to Krakow or Warsaw within the next few weeks!

Thanks for the info @Jozin

Dziękuję for the reassurance! Hope your trip goes well too Lee.

Thanks @Michael K

Are there any other types of travel restrictions besides COVID-19 tests and quarantines?

What should I do if I get COVID-19 while in another country?

If you get COVID-19 while in another country, follow the local authority's recommendations. These may include hospitalization, self-isolating and testing in that country. Be sure to contact your travel insurance company and travel provider as well and inform them of your situation.

What should I do if the borders of the country I am visiting close?

Depending on your home country, you may need to change your departure date and return home as soon as possible. If that's the case, contact your travel provider to find the earliest departure.

What is COVID-19?

Who can get covid-19, can i travel if i recently had covid-19, what can travelers do to prevent covid-19, more information.

CDC Respiratory Virus Guidance has been updated. The content of this page will be updated soon.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a respiratory illness caused by the virus SARS-CoV-2. The virus spreads mainly from person to person through respiratory droplets and small particles produced when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or talks. The virus spreads easily in crowded or poorly ventilated indoor settings.

People with COVID-19 have reported a wide range of symptoms   – ranging from no or mild symptoms to severe illness. Symptoms may appear 2–14 days after exposure to the virus. Possible symptoms include fever, chills, cough, shortness of breath, fatigue, muscle aches, headache, new loss of taste and smell, sore throat, runny nose, nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea.

Anyone can get COVID-19. However, some people are more likely than others to get very sick if they get COVID-19. These include people who are older, are  immunocompromised , or have certain  disabilities , or have  underlying health conditions .  Vaccination, past infection, and timely access to testing and treatment can help protect you from getting very sick from COVID-19.

Yes, you can travel once you have ended isolation . Check CDC guidance for additional precautions, including testing and wearing a mask around others. If you recently had COVID-19 and are recommended to wear a mask, do not travel on public transportation such as airplanes, buses, and trains if you are unable to wear a mask whenever around others.

Get  up to date  with your COVID-19 vaccines before you travel and take steps to protect yourself and others . Consider wearing a mask in crowded or poorly ventilated indoor areas, including on public transportation and in transportation hubs. Take additional precautions if you were recently exposed to a person with COVID-19. Don’t travel while sick.

If you have a  weakened immune system  or  are at increased risk for severe disease talk to a healthcare professional before you decide to travel.  If you travel, take multiple prevention steps to provide additional layers of protection from COVID-19, even if you are up to date with your COVID-19 vaccines. These include improving ventilation and spending more time outdoors, avoiding sick people, getting tested for COVID-19 if you develop symptoms, staying home if you have or think you have COVID-19, and seeking treatment if you have COVID-19.

Consider getting travel insurance in case you need medical care abroad .

Consider getting a COVID-19 test if you:

  • Develop COVID-19 symptoms before, during, or after travel.
  • Will be traveling to visit someone who is at higher risk of getting very sick from COVID-19.
  • Were in a situation with a greater risk of exposure during travel (e.g., in an indoor, crowded space like an airport terminal while not wearing a mask).

If you traveled and feel sick, particularly if you have a fever, talk to a healthcare professional, and tell them about your recent travel.

Fauci Makes Huge Admissions On Vaccine Mandates And Lab Leak Theory Legitimacy

D r. Anthony Fauci faced intense questioning from the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic, where he admitted that the six-foot social distancing rule had little scientific basis.

He also acknowledged that the lab-leak hypothesis is not a conspiracy theory and that vaccine mandates might increase hesitancy.

Despite supporting travel restrictions from China, Fauci was accused of playing down the lab-leak theory. (Trending: Clintons Scramble To Delete Embarrassing Photo, But Were Too Slow)

“It just sort of appeared,” wrote the committee, mocking Fauci with his own quote.

“Dr. Fauci acknowledged that the lab-leak hypothesis is not a conspiracy theory,” their statement continued.

“This comes nearly four years after prompting the publication of the now infamous ‘Proximal Origin’ paper that attempted to vilify and disprove the lab-leak hypothesis,” explained the committee.

The committee said Fauci still “advised American universities to impose vaccine mandates on their students.”

The committee wrote that Fauci, “played semantics with the definition of a ‘lab-leak’ in an attempt to cover up the inaccurate conclusions of ‘Proximal Origin.’”

Sen. Wenstrup said, “During his interview today, Dr. Fauci claimed that the policies and mandates he promoted may unfortunately increase vaccine hesitancy for years to come.”

“Further, the social distancing recommendations forced on Americans ‘sort of just appeared’ and were likely not based on scientific data,” he continued.

Wenstrup said the hearing “revealed systemic failures in our public health system and shed a light on serious procedural concerns with our public health authority.”

“It is clear the dissenting opinions were often not considered or suppressed completely,” lamented the lawmaker.

“Should a future pandemic arise, America’s response must be guided by scientific facts and conclusive data,” declared Wenstrup.

The committee highlighted systemic failures in public health and emphasized the need for future responses to be guided by scientific facts and conclusive data.

A Post-Pandemic Rebound? Migration and Mobility Globally after Covid-19

World migration report 2024: chapter 9, a labyrinth of travel restrictions.

One of the earliest and most important responses to COVID-19 by States has been the imposition of travel restrictions, both internal and international. International travel restrictions were implemented particularly quickly and extensively, and they have persisted well beyond the acute phase of the pandemic in many places: far more so than other COVID-19 restrictions (Figure 2). 7 On 1 January 2020 almost no States had international travel controls, but by 1 April almost all States had them. This level of border closure persisted for almost three years, until January 2023. By comparison, other pandemic control measures – including internal mobility restrictions, school and workplace closures, stay home orders and restrictions on gatherings – have been both less widespread and less durable than international travel restrictions.

quartzmountain

Traveling to Canada may require you to meet certain restrictions and requirements. Before planning your trip, it is important to understand the current rules and regulations in place. This guide will provide you with the necessary information to determine if you can travel to Canada.

Check the Travel Advisory

The first step is to check the travel advisory issued by the government of Canada. The advisory will provide information on the current situation in Canada and any travel advisories or warnings for specific countries. It is essential to review this advisory regularly as it is updated based on the changing circumstances.

Determine Your Travel Category

Canada has categorized travelers into different categories based on their purpose of travel and vaccination status. These categories include fully vaccinated travelers, partially vaccinated travelers, and unvaccinated travelers. Each category has specific requirements and restrictions.

COVID-19 Vaccination

Vaccination plays a significant role in travel requirements. If you are eligible for vaccination, it is highly recommended to get vaccinated before traveling to Canada. Different vaccines are accepted, including Pfizer, Moderna, AstraZeneca, and Johnson & Johnson. Ensure that you complete the required doses for full vaccination.

Pre-arrival Testing

All travelers to Canada, regardless of vaccination status, are required to have a pre-arrival COVID-19 test. The test must be conducted within a specific timeframe before your scheduled departure, usually 72 hours. Make sure to check the exact timing requirements as they may vary.

ArriveCAN App

Before traveling to Canada, download the ArriveCAN mobile app or use the online portal to submit your travel information. This includes your COVID-19 test results, vaccination details, and a quarantine plan (if applicable). You will receive a receipt through the app, which you should show upon arrival.

Quarantine Requirements

Depending on your vaccination status and travel category, you may be required to quarantine upon arrival in Canada. Fully vaccinated travelers may be exempt from the mandatory 14-day quarantine period, while unvaccinated or partially vaccinated travelers may need to quarantine at a designated facility or a suitable place of quarantine. Check the specific requirements for your category.

Travel Insurance

It is highly recommended to have travel insurance that covers COVID-19-related medical expenses, trip cancellation, and interruption. Check with your insurance provider to ensure your policy includes adequate coverage for your trip to Canada.

Check Entry Restrictions

In addition to the general travel requirements, specific entry restrictions may apply to certain countries or regions. Some countries may have additional quarantine or testing requirements upon return, so make sure to check the entry restrictions for both Canada and your home country.

Monitor Updates

Travel restrictions and requirements can change frequently, so it is crucial to monitor updates from the government of Canada and any relevant authorities. Stay informed about any new regulations or changes to existing ones to ensure a smooth travel experience.

Consult with Canadian Authorities

If you have any specific concerns or questions regarding your eligibility to travel to Canada, it is best to consult with Canadian immigration officials or contact the Canadian embassy or consulate in your home country. They can provide you with the most accurate and up-to-date information.

Remember, it is important to follow all the regulations and requirements set by the government of Canada to ensure the health and safety of yourself and others. By staying informed and prepared, you can have a smooth and hassle-free travel experience to Canada.

With the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, it's important to stay informed about travel requirements and restrictions. If you are planning to travel to Canada, you will need to adhere to certain testing and vaccination requirements in order to enter the country. In this article, we will provide you with detailed information on what you need to know before embarking on your trip.

Testing Requirements:

Before travelling to Canada, you must get tested for COVID-19. The type of test required will depend on whether you are fully vaccinated or not. If you are not fully vaccinated, you will need to take a pre-entry PCR test within 72 hours before your departure time to Canada. The result of this test must be negative for you to be allowed to board your flight.

On the other hand, if you are fully vaccinated, you will need to take a pre-entry PCR test within 72 hours before your departure time, just like those who are not fully vaccinated. However, fully vaccinated individuals can also choose to take a rapid antigen test instead. Again, the result of this test must be negative in order to travel to Canada.

Vaccination Requirements:

To be considered fully vaccinated, you must have received all required doses of a Health Canada-approved vaccine at least 14 days before your planned arrival in Canada. Currently, the Health Canada-approved vaccines include Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna, AstraZeneca/COVISHIELD, and Johnson & Johnson. It's important to note that vaccines not approved by Health Canada will not be accepted for the purposes of exempting individuals from quarantine or other travel requirements.

You will also need to provide proof of vaccination. This proof should be in the form of an official document issued by your country's health authority or government. The document should clearly state your personal information, the type of vaccine received, the date(s) of vaccination, and the location where the vaccine was administered. Ensure that the document is in either English or French, or be accompanied by an official translation.

Arrival and Quarantine Requirements:

Upon arrival in Canada, all travelers, regardless of vaccination status, are required to submit their travel and contact information through the ArriveCAN app or website before entering the country. Failure to do so may result in penalties or delays at the border.

Fully vaccinated individuals may be eligible for an exemption from the mandatory 14-day quarantine requirement, as long as they meet certain conditions. These conditions include having a valid proof of vaccination, a negative result from an arrival test conducted at the airport, and no signs or symptoms of COVID-19. It's important to note that this exemption may change depending on the current COVID-19 situation in Canada.

In conclusion, if you are planning to travel to Canada, it's crucial to understand and adhere to the COVID-19 testing and vaccination requirements. Stay up-to-date with the latest information from the Canadian government and make sure to plan your trip accordingly. By following these requirements, you can ensure a smooth and safe journey to Canada.

If you are planning to visit Canada as a visitor or tourist, it is important to be aware of the entry requirements. Canada has specific rules and regulations for visitors entering the country, and failure to meet these requirements can result in being denied entry. To ensure a smooth travel experience, here is a guide to help you check if you can travel to Canada.

  • Valid Passport: To enter Canada, you must have a valid passport. Make sure your passport is not expired and will remain valid for the duration of your stay in Canada. It is always a good idea to check your passport well in advance of your trip to ensure it meets the requirements.
  • Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA): Depending on your nationality, you may be required to obtain an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) before traveling to Canada. The eTA is an electronic document that is linked to your passport and is valid for up to five years or until your passport expires, whichever comes first. You can apply for an eTA online through the official Government of Canada website.
  • Visa Requirements: Some visitors may require a visa to enter Canada. It is essential to check if your country is visa-exempt or if you need to apply for a visa before traveling. The Canadian government provides a list of countries exempt from visa requirements, so make sure to verify your status beforehand.
  • COVID-19 Travel Restrictions: Due to the global pandemic, there may be additional travel restrictions and requirements related to COVID-19. It is crucial to stay updated with the latest information and guidelines provided by the Government of Canada. Check for any travel advisories or restrictions specific to your country of origin and make sure to comply with all health and safety measures in place.
  • Proof of Funds: Visitors and tourists entering Canada may be asked to provide proof of sufficient funds to cover their expenses during their stay. This can include bank statements, credit card statements, or a letter of financial support from a sponsor. It is advisable to have these documents readily available in case they are requested by the border officials.
  • Health Insurance: While not mandatory, it is highly recommended to have travel medical insurance when visiting Canada. This will ensure that you are protected in case of any unexpected medical emergencies or expenses during your stay. Make sure to obtain appropriate coverage before traveling to Canada.
  • Criminal Record: It is essential to have a clean criminal record when entering Canada. Certain criminal offenses, such as DUI (Driving Under the Influence) or drug-related charges, can make you inadmissible to Canada. If you have a criminal record, you may need to apply for a Temporary Resident Permit or Criminal Rehabilitation before traveling to Canada.
  • Return or Onward Ticket: Border officials may ask for proof of a return or onward ticket to ensure that you have plans to leave Canada at the end of your authorized stay. It is advisable to have a copy of your travel itinerary or a confirmed ticket readily available when entering the country.

Checking these entry requirements before your trip will help you avoid any unpleasant surprises and ensure a smooth entry into Canada. Remember to review the official Government of Canada website for the most up-to-date and accurate information regarding travel to Canada.

This step is mandatory for all travelers, including Canadian citizens and permanent residents.
  • Travel Advisories: It's also essential to check for any travel advisories or alerts issued by the government before planning your trip. The Government of Canada regularly updates its travel advisories to inform citizens of potential risks and issues in specific countries or regions. By visiting the official travel advisory website, you can search for your destination and gather information on safety concerns or entry restrictions that may affect your travel plans.
  • Border Wait Times: If you are traveling by land, it's a good idea to check the border wait times. This information can help you plan your travel schedule effectively and avoid long queues at the border checkpoints. The Canada Border Services Agency website provides real-time updates on border wait times for various entry points. By staying informed about the expected wait times, you can plan your arrival accordingly and reduce any unnecessary delays.
