Why you should be rethinking your plans for international travel this year...

1. Why International
Travel Should Be
Reconsidered This
Year
Mack Prioleau

2. INTRO
With the pandemic up against the wall of all of the vaccines
being administered worldwide, you might be itching to travel
internationally again. As exciting as that sounds, you may
want to hold off on doing so. There aren't just restrictions on
travelers from other countries entering those countries, but
restrictions on re-entering the United States. Yikes.
To understand how international travel will work this year,
you need to know what you’re up against. Unless you don’t
mind and have the resources to stay abroad, you may want
to reconsider international travel plans. Here’s why.

3. THE EU
WON’T
TAKE YOU.
The European Union of countries has shut down its borders from all
other countries. Not even Britain is allowed to fly tourists into
France and Germany after Brexit and the high COVID numbers
Britain has experienced. These countries won’t even admit business
“tourists” via plane, so any place you would want to go that is part
of the EU is closed to you anyway.

4. The U.S.’s recent flight restrictions have
informed all international business flights
that people have to get a COVID test
three days or less before flying home. They
have to have the paper in hand showing a
negative test before they board. If you
can’t get a test before returning, or your
test is positive, you have to spend fourteen
days in total quarantine in that country on
your dime and take another test before
you can fly home again.
IF YOU CAN’T OR DON’T TEST
NEGATIVE FOR COVID
BEFORE FLYING HOME, YOU
CAN’T FLY AT ALL.
You might be spending a lot of time in one
country, which can turn tricky if you are
there for more than a few months. At that
point, you may need a visa. Plan any
business travel well, and hold off on
pleasure travel for at least another year.
