BOTSWANA
Americans may enter with evidence of a negative PCR test taken no more than 72 hours before departure. Those who arrive with symptoms or without a test must be quarantined for 10 to 14 days at their own expense, with another test taken in the second week. Additional tests may be required for interstate travel, based on regional requirements. To leave the country, travelers must present a negative PCR test within 72 hours of their scheduled departure. According to the US Embassy in Botswana, test regulations are “not clearly published or enforced, so expect inconsistent application of rules and sudden unexplained changes in their application.” In addition, the turnaround time for PCR tests in the country does not reliably meet the 72 hours required to board a flight to the United States.
BRAZIL
Passengers older than 2 arriving by air must have proof in Portuguese, Spanish or English of a negative RT-PCR test within 72 hours before their flight, and must complete a passenger health declaration. (Children under the age of 12 are exempt from the test requirement if all their traveling companions have been tested negative.) Those arriving on land must have permission from the Federal Police and a notice from the U.S. Embassy or Consulate and proof of a plane ticket home. Once they are approved to enter, they must go directly to the airport.
BRITISH STOMACH ISLANDS
Travelers 5 years and older must have a negative RT-PCR Covid-19 test done within five days of arrival; another test will be taken on landing at Terrance B. International Airport Lettsome. Visitors must wear a wristband monitor and take approved transportation to their accommodation where they will be quarantined for four days. At that point, another RT-PCR test will be administered, and if it is negative, the quarantine is over. A $ 175 fee covers the cost of testing and monitoring. Proof of travel insurance with comprehensive medical coverage is required. A traveler’s authorization certificate must be submitted between seven and two days before the trip.
BURKINA FASO
Visitors must present a negative Covid-19 PCR test in English or French upon arrival in Ouagadougou that is not more than five days old. Those who arrive without a test will receive a quick test at the airport at a cost of $ 155 and will be detained until the results are available. A negative PCR test dated within five days is also required to fly from the airport.
THE CENTRAL AFRICAN REPUBLIC
U.S. tourists must be quarantined 14 days after arrival. Although a negative PCR test is not requested by the country, some airlines may require it to board.
COLOMBIA
Americans are allowed to enter within 96 hours of their flight with evidence of a negative Covid-19 test. There are no quarantine requirements for those with the pretest. For those who are allowed to board their plane without the documentation, Colombia will have to test ten days or 7 days with a negative test and possibly a quarantine with a negative test three to five days after arrival. According to the US Embassy in Colombia, all passengers must complete an immigration form.
COSTA RICA
The country is open to all U.S. citizens without testing and no quarantine mandate, but insurance that includes at least $ 50,000 coverage for coronavirus-related medical problems is required. There should also be $ 2000 coverage for expenses due to pandemic, outage or cancellation due to illness. A digital health pass must be completed 48 hours before boarding a flight to Costa Rica.
