    This Biden administration policy modifies the Trump-era policy identified in this entry.

    On October 25, 2021, President Biden issued a Proclamation declaring that the U.S. will move away from a country-by-country system of restrictions related to COVID-19 and instead focus on noncitizen nonimmigrants' vaccination status when determining whether or not to allow entry.
