The COVID-19 pandemic has sparked two years’ worth of complicated travel restrictions, quarantine requirements, and health checks at airports and borders. Among the more recent developments are the varied acceptable ways to prove vaccination or recovery from COVID-19, without a single worldwide standard. On our dedicated COVID-19 website, we aim to highlight, simplify and clarify the entry process and related rules for over 160 countries.

Today, February 8, Fragomen’s Knowledge Group launched a new interactive tool on the COVID-19 website. The mobile-optimized site now features country and topic selection tools and offers the ability to view, download and print specific country information (or a global report) with minimal navigation. The platform also offers an entry rules summary status as a hoverable feature on each country covered by our global teams.

Travelers and employers can now use this streamlined tool to view Fragomen’s constantly updated COVID-19 entry rule information in a more user-friendly way.

We recommend you regularly check this page and the most recently published rules for the latest immigration updates on this fluid situation. We will also continue to send a daily alert listing the countries with updated information to our alert subscribers. To sign up or change your subscription, access Fragomen’s Subscription Center.
