Since the start of the pandemic, countries have imposed travel restrictions like entry requirements in an effort to slow the spread of Covid. After millions of people received their vaccination, countries started to finally open up again, enabling nonvaccinated individuals to visit other countries. Those who decided to not get the vaccine – either due to personal or medical reasons – deserve to travel like everyone else, and I’ve got them covered. Below is the list of countries you can now enter regardless of your vaccination status. 

Iceland

Since the beginning of 2022, Iceland has lifted all border restrictions for entering. You no longer need a vaccination or a test. 

Croatia

CIf you’re a fan of Game of Thrones, you may be familiar with the beautiful coastal city Dubrovnik, where scenes of King’s Landing were filmed.

Greece is open to all nonvaccinated travelers this summer, though the government will review the mandates once again in September to make a final decision.
