The White House recently announced that beginning May 12, 2023, the
COVID-19 vaccination requirements for entry to the United States
will no longer apply to nonimmigrant international air travelers.
In addition, the Department of Homeland Security announced that it would end the COVID-19
vaccination requirements as of May 12, 2023 for non-U.S. travelers
arriving via land ports of entry and ferry terminals to the United
States. Thus, as of May 12, 2023, the U.S. will no longer require
nonimmigrants to be vaccinated against COVID-19 to enter the U.S.
by land, air, or sea. This timing coincides with the recently
announced end of the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency on May 11,
2023.
Until May 12, 2023, however, nonimmigrants must continue to show
proof of vaccination against COVID-19 for entry to the United
States. This announcement does not impact the requirement of
COVID-19 vaccination for medical exams (Form I-693) in connection
to applications for adjustment of status or immigrant visas. As of
now, the COVID-19 vaccination will still be a required vaccine when
applying for permanent residence.
