COVID 19 AND TRAVEL TO USA
Do not go overseas. A travel ban is in place. Exemptions apply.
AS AT 23 March 2021 (i'LL UPDATE THIS AS THE GOVERNMENT ANNOUNCES CHANGES)
There's a ban on overseas travel from Australia. You can’t leave Australia unless you have an exemption from the Department of Home Affairs, or are travelling to a destination that is exempt from the ban.
Our global travel advice remains at 'Do not travel' due to the health risks from the COVID-19 pandemic and the significant disruptions to global travel. Some destinations were already set at Do Not Travel prior to COVID-19 due to the extreme risk to your safety.
If you’re overseas and wish to return to Australia, be prepared for delays and read our advice on trying to get home.
When you arrive in Australia you must quarantine for 14 days at designated facilities in your port of arrival, unless you have an exemption or are travelling on a quarantine-free flight from a green zone destination. At this time, vaccination against COVID-19 does not change this quarantine requirement. You may be required to pay for the costs of your quarantine. View State and Territory Government COVID-19 information for information about quarantine and domestic borders.
If you're staying overseas, make plans to stay for an extended period. Follow the advice of local authorities and minimise your risk of exposure to COVID-19. Stay in touch with family and friends so they know you're safe.
Our network of embassies and consular posts around the world will provide you with up-to-date local advice and support throughout this difficult period. Be aware consular services may be limited due to local measures.

Various restrictions and public health measures are in place and vary by location. Monitor the Embassy website for further COVID-19 related information (see ‘Local Contacts’).

Overview
Safety
Protests and demonstrations have increased in frequency and size since May 2020. Some protests have turned violent. Avoid areas where protests are occurring due to the ongoing potential for unrest and violence. Monitor the media for information and updates. Follow the instructions of local authorities, including by obeying any curfews.
The US has a heightened risk of terrorist attacks. Terrorists may use vehicles, knives, homemade bombs, and poisons or toxins. Be alert, particularly in public places and at events.
Violent crime is more common than in Australia and gun crime is possible in all areas. Follow local guidance and instructions. If you live in the US, learn active shooter drills.
Thieves target travellers. Take care on public transport. Don't leave valuables in your rental car.
Extreme weather and natural hazards include earthquakes and tsunamis, wildfires, hurricanes and floods, tornadoes, volcanic eruptions, and blizzards. Monitor weather conditions and follow any mandatory evacuation orders.
Health
COVID-19 remains a risk in the US.
Insect-borne illnesses are a risk in parts of the US. These include West Nile virus. Make sure your accommodation is insect-proof. Use insect repellent.
Make sure your vaccinations are up-to-date before you travel.
Medical costs are high. You may need to pay up-front. Ensure you have comprehensive travel insurance.
Local laws
Check local drug laws, including on the possession and use of marijuana. These vary across states. It's illegal to possess prescription medication without a prescription. Penalties include mandatory minimum sentences.
The federal age for buying and drinking alcohol is 21, but it may vary in different states. Check relevant state laws.
Get legal advice before you enter into a commercial surrogacy arrangement.
Some states have laws that may affect LGBTI travellers.
Dual nationality is recognised. Travel with both your passports. Enter and exit the US on your US passport.
Travel
The US has suspended entry, or transit, of foreigners who have travelled to or reside in certain COVID-19 affected countries. They may also deny boarding of any US-bound traveller showing signs of illness. Expect enhanced screening procedures, including for domestic flights within the US. Information and advice is available from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA).
If you're flying to the US from overseas you'll be required to test negative to COVID-19 no more than three days before their flight departs or provide proof that they have previously recovered from COVID-19. Passengers will need to provide proof of the negative result or documentation of having recovered from COVID-19 to their airline and complete an attestation before boarding. If a passenger does not provide documentation of a negative test or recovery, or chooses not to take a test, the airline must deny boarding. Further information is available on the CDC website.
In addition to being tested within three days of boarding their flight to the US, the CDC recommends that anyone travelling to the US from overseas get tested again within 3-5 days after arrival and stay home for seven days post-travel. US states have their own quarantine requirements for new arrivals from overseas and/or for domestic travel from other US states. Further information can be found on the websites of the individual states.
Check US entry, transit and exit requirements. If you're visiting for less than 90 days, you may be eligible for the Electronic System for Travel Authorisation (ESTA) and be able to enter under the Visa Waiver Program. If you're not eligible, you'll need a visa. Each traveller, including children, must have their own ESTA and visa waiver, or visa.
The US restricts travel to and from Cuba. Make sure you meet all requirements. US authorities may question you when you arrive in the US.
To drive in the US, you need an International Driving Permit (IDP). Get your IDP before you leave Australia. Some states may let you drive on your Australian driver's licence. Learn local traffic rules and driving conditions before you drive.
