Travel Restrictions Update: EU+ area
On June 15, 2020, the EU Commission recommendation to ban all non-essential travel into the European Union and associated countries expired.
This recommendation for countries to impose temporary travel restrictions has been in place since March 16, 2020. These countries include the Schengen Member States, including Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, and Romania, and four Schengen Associated States - Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, and Switzerland.
