If you’re thinking of taking a trip soon or already have a destination booked, here’s how to make sure you comply with local regulations and prepare as much as you can in advance.
trip right now can be overwhelming—even more so when you factor in international travel, with most countries having different rules, restrictions, and testing requirements to deal with Covid. compared to 2019, according to the World Tourism Organization of the United Nations. While some people are choosing to remain at home—putting off their dreams of island getaways and visiting relatives overseas—many others are starting to pack their bags, thanks in part to the Covid vaccines.
Every country has its own entry requirements, many even for returning citizens, permanent residents, and visa holders.

The amount of time before departure and the type of test, however, varies. Some require an antigen test taken within 24 hours of departure, others require a PCR taken within 48 hours. Make sure you note exactly which test you need and the time frame, and book your test in advance if you can.

This was because the UK was going through a surge, and Germany had taken it off its green list. While this was unexpected for my overall plans, I looked up an apartment hotel that had a kitchen and researched grocery deliveries so I wouldn’t have to order every meal.
