Whatever happens to the USA staying or leaving the green list, the EU recommends that vaccinated people from around the world should be allowed into the EU Schengen area

At least as it relates to Italy, the Italian embassy in Washington DC issued a press release today "reaffirming" their existing entry requirements for US citizens.

Interesting - the press release a few minutes ago was worded differently and said "reaffirming" old guidance, appears has been updated now.

Looks like Spain is next due to update its "Annex" list of "safe" third countries on Sept 5.  So, my question is - if the US is dropped from the Annex (which presumably allows unvaxed to travel for non-essential reasons), do you think a vaxed US citizen would still be eligible to travel to Spain for non-essential reasons under provision "k" of their rules that deal with vaxed persons?

Yes, until the situation is so bad that EU closes flights to red zone areas.

 

The only thing we can be certain of, is the uncertainty as we get closer to the cold months. Remember how bad it be was during the last winter! Just have to hope that travellers can get home! 😒
