Covid-19 vaccination programs are in full swing in countries all over the world. There’s hope for a return to normality in every place of the world with countries starting to be open to vaccinated travelers or generally to foreign travelers. Probably, there may be other restrictions depending on your country of origin or the country you are traveling to. Some countries are still in lockdown or have regional travel bans but we hope that this will also change too.
So, the time to get our normal life back is almost here. If you want to travel again but you don’t know where to go, this article is for you. Read it and learn about the countries that are open to visitors that have been vaccinated (and not only).
1. Greece
Greece, the paradise for travelers has been open to vaccinated travelers since 25 of April 2021. However, there are still some restrictions that, hopefully, will change after some time. This popular tourist destination will allow travelers to visit the country, and it won’t be necessary to quarantine once you get to Greece.
2. Israel
This country has vaccinated over 60% of the population and has therefore been called the ‘first covid free country’ launching a campaign named ‘Bring Tourism Back to Israel’. Israel will fully open to vaccinated travelers from Sunday 23 of May. However, tourists must be fully vaccinated and must show proof by bringing a certificate with them.
3. Croatia
Another amazing place to visit that has been fully vaccinated with the final dose (or a single dose for one-jab vaccines). To enter, it is necessary to have been administered the vaccination at least 14 days prior to departure. However, travelers who are not vaccinated can also visit the country, although they will have to meet specific entry requirements such as a negative PCR test, etc.
4. Estonia
This country has established some different rules when it comes to traveling. First of all, vaccinated travelers who have received the vaccine within the last six months can travel without a problem here. Secondly, tourists diagnosed with Covid-19 and who have recovered within the last six months can also enter the country.
5. Iceland
In Iceland, from 1 of May 2021, the people who can prove they have had a vaccine (certification) will be able to travel to the country. Also, Iceland allowing general foreign tourists to visit the country with covid measures for travelers include negative PCR and quarantine.
6. Romania
The tourists who arrive will not need to quarantine, provided they can show proof of two Covid-19 vaccinations. The second dose must be given to the individual more than 10 days before travel. Unfortunately, travelers from America are still not allowed to enter Romania except under certain conditions.
7. Belize
If you have completed your vaccination at least two weeks before arrival, then Belize is also a choice for vacation. Additionally, again there are some other restrictions as for example the visitors must first download and complete the Belize Health App.
8. Georgia
Since February 1, citizens from all countries will be able to enter Georgia by plane if they can prove that they have received the full dose of one of the Covid-19 vaccinations. According to the Georgian government, they need to indicate the full course of the vaccination (two doses). The citizens of all countries traveling by plane will be checked for documents at the border checkpoints of Georgia.
After a long time of turbulence, it is time to get our lives back. Let’s believe in the vaccines and a better tomorrow in every corner of the world.
