We recommend carrying a mask with you wherever you go, as local policies and mask mandates in other countries may vary.

Cidadãos não americanos devem ser totalmente vacinados e comprovar sua vacinação. Todos os clientes também devem assinar um atestado e fornecer informações de rastreamento de contato. This requirement applies to all customers over the age of 2, both vaccinated and unvaccinated.

Effective 06 de dezembro de 2021, ALL travelers arriving into the U.S., including U.S. citizens and non-U.S. citizens, must have proof of a negative COVID-19 test within 1 day of flight departure, or documentation of having recovered from COVID-19 in the past 90 days. This applies to all customers over the age of 2, both vaccinated and unvaccinated. Non-U.S. citizens over the age must be fully vaccinated and have proof of their vaccination. Todos os clientes também devem assinar um atestado e fornecer informações de rastreamento de contato.
Here’s what you need to know about the latest U.S. entry requirements:
- Fully vaccinated foreign nationals will be permitted to enter the U.S. with proof of vaccination and a negative COVID-19 test taken within one day of departure. Unvaccinated foreign nationals will not be able to board a flight to the U.S., unless they meet criteria for one of the exceptions.
- Fully vaccinated U.S. citizens returning from abroad will be required to show proof a negative test result within one day of departure.
- Unvaccinated U.S. citizens must show proof of a negative test within one day of departure to re-enter the U.S. from abroad. Approved test types include COVID-19 viral tests approved by the U.S. government (molecular, nucleic acid amplification [NAAT], RT-PCR, TMA, LAMP, NEAR, HDA and antigen tests accepted).
- Children under 18 years of age are exempt from the vaccination requirement. Children between ages 2 and 17 are required to show proof of a negative COVID-19 test (under age 2, not required to test).
- For those with connecting flights, your connection cannot be longer than 48 hours and travelers must present proof that their COVID-19 test was taken within 1 day of the initial flight departure.
Yes. Mix and match vaccinations are acceptable. Individuals can be considered fully vaccinated ≥ 2 weeks after receipt of any combination of two doses of an FDA approved/authorized or WHO emergency use listed COVID-19 two-dose series and therefore be allowed to enter the U.S.
- All passengers ages 2 and up will need to complete an attestation form, opens in a new window before boarding a flight to the U.S. A parent or other authorized person should attest on behalf of a passenger under 18 years old. An authorized person may attest on behalf of any passenger who is unable to sign their own attestation (e.g., because they are too young, or because of physical or mental impairment).
- Contact tracing information will be required for all passengers entering the U.S. Delta will collect this information for its passengers on behalf of the CDC.
Delta is making health documentation verification a breeze with Delta FlyReady – Delta’s digital solution built to automatically verify government-required health documentation and ensure customers are aware of entry requirements in place at their destination. If required, travelers on most international routes bound for the U.S. can use Delta FlyReady to directly upload and verify their negative COVID-19 test results and vaccination certificate.
Atenção: you must enter your Delta flight confirmation number (not your Delta Vacations confirmation number) when entering the required information.
- Persons on diplomatic or official foreign government travel
- Children under 18 years of age
- Participants in certain COVID-19 vaccine trials
- Persons with medical contraindications to receiving a COVID-19 vaccine
- Persons issued a humanitarian or emergency exception
- Persons with valid nonimmigrant visas who are citizens of a country with limited COVID-19 vaccine availability
- Members of the U.S. Armed Forces or their spouses or children
- Sea crew members
- Persons whose entry would be in the U.S. national interest
- You may want to bring printed copies of your documents, test results and vaccination status if possible. Digital copies may be accepted, but backup is a good idea.
- As the U.S. reopens and more travelers return to the skies, wait times at the airport and security checkpoints may be longer than normal. Early arrival is recommended.
- Travel restrictions are changing frequently. We recommend that you check your destination’s specific requirements, as well as confirming directly with the hotel their policy regarding Covid testing and more.
According to CDC, passengers ages 2 and above entering the United States, or transiting through the United States, must have proof of a negative Coronavirus (COVID-19) test taken within one day of initial flight departure. For example, if your flight is at 5 pm on Friday, you could board with a negative test that was taken at any time on Thursday, which is one day before your flight.
The test can be a molecular test, nucleic acid amplification test [NAAT], RT-PCR, TMA, LAMP, NEAR, HDA or antigen test). Antibody or serological tests will not be accepted.
Documentation may be paper or electronic copy and must include the name and contact information for the laboratory or healthcare personnel who performed the test. Test results may be required to be shown again upon landing.
Alternatively, passengers who had a positive COVID-19 test (Recovered passengers) may produce a positive specimen from a test taken within 90 days of departure and a letter from a licensed health care provider or public health official stating that the passenger has been cleared for travel to fulfill the testing requirement (they are still subject to the vaccine requirement as described above).
What else has changed about the test requirements?
Most details of the test requirement are unchanged from the current rule. Additional points to note:
- Children between 2 and 17 who are not fully vaccinated may board with a 3-day negative test if traveling with fully vaccinated parents or guardians.
- If traveling unaccompanied or if one or more of the parents/guardians are not fully vaccinated, the child must have a one-day negative test.
If the first flight in a passenger’s trip is delayed past the 1-day or 3-day limit of testing due to a situation outside of their control (e.g., delays because of severe weather or aircraft mechanical problem), and that delay is 24 hours or less past the 1-day or 3-day limit for testing, they do not need to be retested. If the delay is more than 24 hours past the 1- day or 3-day limit, then they will need to be retested.
If a connecting flight in a traveler’s trip is delayed past the 1-day or 3-day limit of testing due to a situation outside of their control (e.g., delays because of severe weather or aircraft mechanical problem), and that delay is less than 48 hours past the 1-day or 3-day limit for testing, they do not need to be retested. If the delay is more than 48 hours past the 1-day or 3-day limit, then they will need to be retested.
This information is changing rapidly, so it is advised to check with your hotel directly for their most updated policy on testing.
