重磅！美国旅行禁令取消

据2021年10月25日发布的总统公告，美国总统拜登将于2021年11月8日结束对巴西、中国、印度、伊朗、爱尔兰、申根区、南非和英国的旅行限制。这意味着今后赴美将不再需要美国国家利益例外签证。此外，所有计划赴美的外国成年人必须提供疫苗接种证明和出发前72小时内新冠检测阴性证明。

Through a Presidential Proclamation issued October 25, 2021, President Biden is ending the COVID-19 related travel restrictions of individuals traveling to the U.S. from Brazil, China, India, Iran, Ireland, the Schengen Area, South Africa, and the United Kingdom at 12:01 AM EST on November 8, 2021. This means that National Interest Exemptions (NIEs) are no longer required. In place of these restrictions, all foreign adult travelers to the U.S. are required to show proof of full vaccination and a negative result to a COVID-19 test taken within 72 hours before departure.
