WASHINGTON, D.C. – Prepare your passports.
The U.S. will soon be opening the borders to Canada and Mexico.
The Biden administration says the U.S. will reopen its land borders to nonessential travel next month, ending a 19-month freeze due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Vehicle, rail and ferry travel between the U.S. and Canada and Mexico has been largely restricted to essential travel, such as trade, since the beginning of the pandemic.
The rules announced on Wednesday, October 13th, will allow fully vaccinated foreign nationals U.S. entry regardless of the reason for travel.
That starts in early November, when a similar easing of restrictions kicks in for air travel.
Officials have not disclosed the exact date of the border reopening.
