On May 24, 2020, the president signed a new proclamation that enacts travel
restrictions for any foreign nationals who have been present in the
Federative Republic of Brazil within 14 days of arrival in the
United States. The Brazil restrictions are the newest addition to a
roster of travel restrictions that prohibit entry of foreign
nationals who have been present in most of Europe (26 countries of
the Schengen Area), the United Kingdom, Ireland, China (excluding
Hong Kong and Macau), and Iran within 14 days prior to arrival in
the United States.
To Whom do the Restrictions Apply?
This proclamation suspends the entry of all foreign nationals
who were physically present in Brazil during the 14-day period
preceding their entry or attempted entry into the United States.
The proclamation is effective at 11:59 p.m. EST on May 26, 2020,
and does not apply to persons aboard a flight scheduled to arrive
in the United States that departed prior to that time cut-off.
