Immigration Situation Overview
COVID-19 Pandemic – Immigration Situation Overview This is a summary of the confirmed immigration restrictions and/or concessions that global jurisdictions are currently imposing in an effort to contain the novel coronavirus (COVID-19). It includes: (1) the operational status of government authorities; (2) travel restrictions; (3) entry, quarantine, and health requirements; and (4) government concessions. Where a jurisdiction is not listed, Fragomen cannot reliably confirm it is currently imposing restrictions or concessions of this type. Important Notes: The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak is a rapidly changing event; this summary is for reference only. It does not attempt to cover other developments that may be relevant to travelers, such as airline route cancellations, the closing of consular posts, or national travel advisories. Individuals considering travel should consult their country’s consular posts and seek case-specific advice from their travel and/or immigration providers. Employers whose staff have moved to remote work arrangements may need to complete additional labor law requirements, such as employment contract amendments. European Union Travel Note: Per EU guidance, residents of Australia, Hong Kong SAR, Japan, Macau SAR, New Zealand, Rwanda, Singapore, South Korea and Thailand have been ‘greenlisted’, meaning such travelers are advised to be permitted to enter EU Member States. Nationals of China might also be permitted entry if EU travelers will be allowed to reciprocally enter Mainland China. EU authorities advise EU countries to coordinate their travel restrictions to ensure more reliable and predictable travel planning across the European Union. *Note on travelers from the United Kingdom: Many restrictions have been implemented worldwide for travelers from the United Kingdom as of December 20 – the situation is fluid and we are tracking changes as they are confirmed.
