Is RT-PCR Test still required?

Howdy,

 

My flight from Manila to Seattle is on Nov 7. Is RT-PCR still required before I leave?

"COVID-19 Testing No Longer Required for U.S. Entry as of June 12, 2022".

 

However, you still need to be vaccinated.

Thanks. This is very helpful

 

And yes I have the two doses and 1 booster shot from Moderna.

I think that is only for non us citizens you have to be vaccinated, Greencard holders don't need it, or traveling to the US on immigrant visa you don't need to be vaccinated, etc....

 

What are they classifying the K visa?

A careful read of the link you provided indicates a K visa holder is considered a "Covered individual"

Thanks

 

It was difficult to decipher

 

So you are saying if you are a K visa holder you don't need covid shots?

If you drew that from what I said then that would be a wrong conclusion.

Covered individuals refers to individuals covered by the proclamation, as in the proclamation applies to them, they’re covered by it. from the link above:

 

“On October 25, 2021, the President issued a Proclamation to suspend and limit entry into the United States for non-U.S. citizens who are nonimmigrants, referred to as “Covered individuals,” seeking to enter the United States by air travel and are not fully vaccinated against COVID-19.”
