The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) will extend the bans on nonessential land travel across the U.S. borders with Canada and Mexico, but is preparing to lift them next month for individuals who are fully vaccinated against COVID-19, according to Federal Register notices published today.
The bans had been set to expire at the end of the day today. The White House announced last week that the U.S. would lift the current international air and land travel restrictions for fully vaccinated individuals on Nov. 8.
Key Points:
Additional Information: The U.S.’s bans on nonessential travel across land borders have been in place since March 2020 and extended for 30-day periods since then. The most recent Federal Register notices are available here and here.
BAL Analysis: While the U.S. will allow fully vaccinated travelers to enter starting Nov. 8, the current restrictions will remain in place until then. Employers and employees should continue to consult their BAL professional before planning any international travel.
BAL attorneys will be speaking at a webinar on “Lifting the Travel Bans, Holiday Travel & Planning: What to Expect in the Coming Months” on Nov. 2 at 1 p.m. CDT.
