USA Opens to Vaccinated Travellers November 8: Plan Your American Adventure
The US is lifting its COVID-19 travel ban—fully vaccinated foreign nationals can enter by air and land.
The White House announced on October 15, 2021 that fully vaccinated foreign nationals could enter the United States starting November 8, 2021, ending an 18-month restriction on most international travel. The reopening applies to air arrivals and land borders with Canada and Mexico, reshaping travel planning for millions worldwide.
For Sri Lankans wanting to visit family, study, or travel in the US, November 8 marked a restart. You'll need to be fully vaccinated, carry proof, and complete pre-departure testing, but the 18-month freeze was over. Book early; pent-up demand meant flights and visas moved quickly once the borders reopened.
