I need to fly from Germany to US ASAP. I’m holding EU passport [duplicate] - Free stock photo of adult, banking, blm

My partner live in the states and I live in Europe. We not married so no legal union. However I still wanna go to him in the States ASAP. The Schengen travel van should expire today but no news of renewal and I can’t get in touch with any embassy. Do you have any idea of what’s gonna happen and if I can travel?

Thank you!

Your statements are incorrect. The US travel ban on people who have been in the Schengen Area does not expire today at all.

Proclamation 9993 states:

Sec. 4. Termination. This proclamation shall remain in effect until terminated by the President. The Secretary of Health and Human Services shall recommend that the President continue, modify, or terminate this proclamation as described in section 5 of Proclamation 9984, as amended.

So there was never a 30-day limit. It remains in place as long as needed, and it seems unlikely this will change anytime soon.

Note however that the ban is on non-US citizens who have been in the listed countries in the last 14 days, not citizens or permanent residents of those countries. So you could try to travel to another country and wait for 14 days and then travel to the US.

There are however a lot of things that would hamper such an attempt:

  • many countries ban entry likewise (or even altogether).
  • There are similar US bans for many other countries, and they may add more
  • Most European countries ban any unnecessary travel
  • Plane travel is probably one of the worst possible things you could do to try to avoid catching the virus and/or spreading it around.

So I very very strongly recommend you stay where you are and wait for things to calm down.

Can you fly internationally with a copy of your passport?

Answer: No, you cannot travel internationally without a valid passport. Photocopies of passports are not acceptable. If you need your passport to travel internationally and do not have time to wait for routine processing, then you can apply for expedited passport renewal.

What if I lost my passport before my flight?

Fortunately, you can obtain it as long as you go to the closest U.S. consulate or embassy. You will have to complete a few forms and show proof of your travel itinerary, but you may also have to file a police report if the document was stolen.

Can you travel back to your country of origin with an expired passport?

Expired passports cannot be used to travel from the United States to an international destination or to travel to a foreign country for any length of stay longer than an airport connection in route to the United States or United States territory.

Can you fly anywhere in the EU without a passport?

If you are an EU national, or are visiting a Schengen country, you can travel anywhere within the Schengen Area without a passport, just by showing ID with your photo on it. However, you must always carry your passport with you when you travel around the Schengen Area.
