Countries Americans Can Travel to Without COVID-19 Testing or Quarantine

The Caribbean nation of the Dominican Republic, home to such popular tropical tourism spots as Punta Cana, Puerto Plata and Santo Domingo, doesn’t require international travelers to quarantine or take a COVID-19 test prior to arrival, but passengers may be randomly selected for testing at their port of entry as part of surveillance efforts. Between three and ten percent of passengers (and those who display symptoms) will have a quick, aleatory breath test administered upon arrival. Standard health screenings, including temperature checks, will also be performed on all arriving passengers.

Travelers will also need to complete and sign a Traveler’s Health Affidavit as part of the immigration and customs forms provided by the airline or by Dominican authorities, attesting that they’ve not had any COVID-19 symptoms in the past 72 hours and providing their contact details for the next 30 days.
