Under the new rules, foreign travelers will have to present proof of full vaccination before boarding a plane to the US, have a negative Covid-19 test result within three days of the flight date, and provide full contact information.
The US will open both its land and air borders and allow visitors to enter the country via ferry. Those who qualify will not need to quarantine, a chance for many families on both sides of the Atlantic to reunite after nearly 20 months apart due to US entry restrictions.

The land border reopening will be carried out in two phases. In the first phase, from November 8, vaccinated travelers will be able to travel to the US for tourism or to meet relatives. In addition, those who have not been vaccinated will still be able to enter the US if it is a particularly necessary trip, and this will continue to be applied in the US during the time the country is not reopened. In the second phase, starting from January 2022, from this point on, all travelers entering by land will be required to be vaccinated against Covid-19.
The country's opening of its borders has led to thousands of migrants traveling to areas along the US-Mexico border, hoping to take advantage of the relaxed regulations to enter the US.

The border closure order was issued by former President Donald Trump in March 2020, this regulation applied to most areas of the world. Even visitors from neighboring countries such as Canada and Mexico were banned from entering.
