When can American tourists travel to Europe?

American tourists who have been fully vaccinated against Covid-19 will be allowed to enter the European Union this summer, said Ursula von der Leyen, the European Commission president, last week. 

Both, The EU and the US are working on how to make vaccine certificates acceptable as proof of immunity for visitors. The entry rules and protocols have not been announced but they are expected to be released soon. 

“The Americans, as far as I can see, use European Medicines Agency-approved vaccines […] “Because one thing is clear: All 27 member states will accept, unconditionally, all those who are vaccinated with vaccines that are approved by E.M.A.,” said Von der Leyen.

Each E.U. country is reopening on a different date with different restrictions. Travelers should consult with their embassies to learn about these specific dates and requirements.
