U.S. ENTRY REQUIREMENTS FOR INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL

Updated June 15, 2022

Here’s an overview of the main entry requirements for customers travelling to the U.S.:

• All non-U.S. citizen, non-U.S. immigrants must have a valid VISA or ESTA to enter the U.S. Some visitors may be eligible for a visa on arrival and should verify before departure.

2.       PROOF OF VACCINATION

• All non-U.S. citizen, non-U.S. immigrants traveling to the United States by air are required to show proof of being fully vaccinated against COVID-19.
• Only limited exceptions apply, including children under 18 years of age.
• Unvaccinated customers are not allowed to board a flight to the U.S. unless they meet the criteria for an exception.

3.       COVID-19 TESTING

• COVID-19 testing is no longer required for all travelers entering or connecting through the U.S.

4.       ATTESTATION FORM

• An attestation form must be completed for all passengers aged 2 years and above before boarding.

5.       CONTACT INFORMATION

• All passengers are required to provide contact information before boarding their flight.
• This strengthens the existing travel process to rapidly identify and contact people in the U.S. who may have been exposed to a communicable disease, such as COVID-19.

DURING TRAVEL

6.       MASKS

• Masks are optional for Delta customers and employees for all U.S. domestic flights. 
• Masks are now optional for Delta customers and employees for international travel, except where masks are required by applicable governments for international travel. 
• Advise customers to continue to bring a mask with them for international travel, because it may be required for some destinations based on their laws and requirements.

• All non-U.S. citizen, non-U.S. immigrant passengers 18 years of age and older must stay at home or in their hotel room and self-quarantine for a full 7 days, even if they test negative, unless they have documentation of having recovered from COVID-19 in the past 90 days.
