Where US citizens can visit with no testing or quarantine required.

Note that though a test isn’t required, you may be tested upon arrival (randomly, or if you’re showing symptoms) and asked to isolate until you get your results. If you’re sick and do need to quarantine, it may be at your own expense.

Albania

Belarus

Brazil (health insurance covering Covid is required)

Dominican Republic (passengers will be randomly selected for a breath test)

Kosovo

Maldives (confirmed hotel required)

Malta (only if you spend 14 days in an approved country first)

Mexico (travelers must arrive by plane)

North Macedonia

Serbia

Tanzania (health screening may include a test on arrival)

Tunisia

Turkey

Where US citizens can visit with a negative Covid test and no quarantine required

Testing rules are all over the place. Some countries require a negative test from the last 72 hours while some allow tests that are five days old; some require a test before you board, and others test on arrival. In some countries, a single test is all that’s needed and in others you may need to be tested again depending on the length of your stay.

Bottom line: check each country’s requirements carefully.

Antigua and Barbuda

Aruba

Armenia

Barbados

Bermuda

Bosnia and Herzegovina

Costa Rica (only visitors from select states are allowed)

Croatia (with proof of booked accommodation)

Dominica

Dubai

Ecuador

Egypt

French Polynesia

Honduras

Jamaica

Kenya (travelers from California, Florida, and Texas must quarantine for 14 days)

Montenegro

Rwanda

St. Lucia

St. Barts

St. Maarten

Saint Vincent and the Grenadines

The Seychelles

Turks and Caicos

Additionally, Belize, El Salvador, and Namibia have announced plans to reopen soon. Unfortunately at this time there’s no word on when other countries, including those in the EU, may begin welcoming Americans again.

Have they got a list of where Canadians can travel?
 
That tiny blue book that used to get me to lots of places is kind of not so useful now. Time to break out the Canadian version.
 
I was just doing some research to see what places have been updated with new permissions. I'm SOOOOO irritated. I went to the US government website to look at individual countries' restrictions. We live in Missouri. Our death rate per million is 352 (according to the Worldometers website). We can't go to Costa Rica. But guess who can? Here are some states with their deaths per million.

New York - 1707
New Jersey - 1826
Connecticut - 1262
DC - 884
Massachusetts - 1364

MISSOURI - 352

What am I missing? We also don't have any 'new cases' or 'new deaths' either. There must be a valid explanation for this, right?
 
We have already discussed the irrelevance of the death rate per million multiple times on this board. It’s not a criteria taken into consideration for entry bans. You may as well argue that you eat less hotdogs than xxxx country/state and yet they are not banned..

likely Missouri’s extremely high active case rate twinned with comparatively low testing rates etc.

dead people are not a danger to anyone because they predominately tend to be dead as opposed to spreading disease across borders.

How are they policing it? Not allowing you to board flights or not allowing you through immigration on landing?
 
If you look at the new cases per day it looks like Missouri is around 2,000 while NY is 1,000.
 
That information is wrong for Mexico. Despite what is said, the border is open to US citizens (driving) for crossing into and out of Mexico. I did it in August to visit my house in San Carlos and dive, and will be going back down next month.
