Is there any website or service for showing countries / regions open for travel during Covid-19 restrictions? - Friendly ethnic male waiter serving clients in room and carrying tray with coffee while working in stylish hotel

As countries and regions open up from lockdown, I was wondering if there's an online tool that can highlight which places a person is free to travel to based on:

  1. Passports held
  2. Current residency / residency status
  3. Destination country / region
  4. Transit countries
  5. Local restrictions at destination (e.g., is it essential travel only, Covid-19 testing requirements, are hotels open or is it living with family only)


Best Answer

As far as I know, such website / database / service covering your five points doesn't exist.

For your first 4 points, one typically resort at manually going through https://www.iatatravelcentre.com/international-travel-document-news/1580226297.htm and ideally trying to double check the information with the country's websites and airlines, which is error-prone and inefficient. For your last point, see Where can I find an up-to-date list of COVID-19-related curfews and business closures in different countries?. Interestingly, even though travel-related businesses are sinking, they often don't try much to make it easier for the few remaining travelers to navigate through covid-19 restrictions.

To make it even trickier, a country may have different covid-19 rules for different areas, e.g. When flying domestically in Thailand, which (origin airport, destination airport) results in a quarantine?.
