Update COVID rules

[Areaonereal]

As fickle as these countries are that do or do not require whatever proof of negative test….get a PCR prior to arrival…

Yep. sounds good to me. I have my vac card and Delta verified it, so it's in their system as valid, but with this bit of news, I guess I'll get tested and have the paperwork in hand when I land.

I wonder, what if you carried with you in your carry on bag one of the home test kits that the gov't sent to everyone? I have two here in the house. Just have it in my backpack in case they require me be tested when I get off the plane? Who knows, just a thought.

Pulled all Americans out of passport entry line. Had us stand in line for 5 hours awaiting test kits… only to find that they had none. Americans, consider your plans carefully….FWB

Wow what BS!

We fly Thursday. @flatwater bill: could you provide some more information? Are you vaccinated and did you present your CDC vaccination card?

GET A PCR TEST!

Is this all you folks are using or is their other paper work needed?

Talking to Koos and Africa Sky now and their clients that arrived this morning/last night had no issues and only had to show proof of vaccination (CDC card).

Please update us more Bill when you have time. I fly United next Tuesday.
I was afraid this might happen at some point. Even tho vaxed, I have arranged PCR test the day before I depart.

I'd be concerned that you have not had a booster shot. Last shot over a year ago. I'm not sure that complies with fully vaccinated.

Dont need a booster to be considered fully vaccinated for RSA.

Wheels up June 19. Vaxxed but I'm getting a PCR test the day before. Fail to plan, plan to fail. YMMV.

Another 7 Americans denied entry today. From Namibia. Afton Lodge wondering what to do….FWB

 

[SFRanger7GP]

@flatwater bill: can you provide any further information? Why were you and others detained and/or denied entry? I am getting conflicting information.

 

[SFRanger7GP]

Without any valid details as to "why", I tend to believe someone else is posting for flatwater bill.

Safe travels

 

[flatwater bill]

All 4 of us with valid CDC issued cards showing all 4 jabs…..FWB

 

[SFRanger7GP]

Thank you for the response.

Were you using an expediter/lodge to help you with logistics upon arrival?

What airline?

 

[SFRanger7GP]

This makes no sense. Another friend of mine just picked up his US clients this morning and said there are testing sites all over the airport.

 

[Areaonereal]

Seems so inconsistent as to entry….is FWB the real one posting…replies seem very brief with no details…Hmmmmm.

 

[buckshot85]

Without details I’m calling troll.

Does anyone have a $100 bill in their pocket!
Fixes Africa!

I’m confused about FOUR jabs. That would be the initial 2 vaccination shots and a booster. Then one more booster? I know it is possible, I just want to make sure I am understanding correctly
