requirement, please read all of the information below and submit the completed
questionnaire in English to this email address.

Requirement for Proof of COVID-19 Vaccination for Nonimmigrant Air

Passengers

Please see the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) website for complete
information about Presidential Proclamation 10294, which requires most inbound
nonimmigrant air travelers to show proof of having received an accepted COVID-19
vaccine and meet a pre-departure COVID-19 test requirement. Several categories of
nonimmigrant travelers are exempt from this policy (see the list here, to include entry
requirements for excepted individuals).

CDC may grant a humanitarian or emergency exception in limited circumstances only

when an individual must travel to the United States to preserve health and safety (e.g.,
emergency medical evacuations) and is unable to become fully vaccinated before
travel. Per the CDC, humanitarian exceptions will be very limited and the urgency
must be readily apparent. Nonimmigrant visa holders that wish to seek an exception
must send the information below to the Consular Section
at BuenosAiresCDCWaiver@state.gov.

Please note: The embassy is required to forward completed requests to the Center
for Disease Control (CDC) for review and adjudication. Embassy Buenos Aires
will not forward the request to the CDC for consideration unless the travelers
submits all of the required information below. Embassy Buenos Aires cannot
guarantee a response from the CDC in a certain timeline, provide status updates
on submitted exception requests, and/or facilitate expedite requests.
