It’s official: The European Union recommends lifting non-essential travel restrictions for USA visitors
In a press release this morning, the Council of Europe updated the “list of countries, special administrative regions and other entities and territorial authorities for which travel restrictions should be lifted”, and the USA are finally on the list.
Following a review under the recommendation on the gradual lifting of the temporary restrictions on non-essential travel into the EU, the Council updated the list of countries, special administrative regions and other entities and territorial authorities for which travel restrictions should be lifted. As stipulated in the Council recommendation, this list will continue to be reviewed every two weeks and, as the case may be, updated.
According to the same document, and starting from June 18, members can gradually lift travel restrictions from the following countries:
- Albania
- Australia
- Israel
- Japan
- Lebanon
- New Zealand

- Serbia

- South Korea
- Thailand
- United States of America
