Has anyone from Peru traveled to the US recently? What was your experience with the COVID travel restrictions?

Yes. I have travelled twice since Jorge Chavez Intl opened back up. It's a bit of a pain but manageable. It was covid tests (pcr or antigen) within 72 hours of travel plus a health declaration form, mask (now I think it's double) and face shield throughout the airport. Once we were on the plane it was just a mask (though this may depend on the airline). Coming back to Peru was essentially the same steps...tests, masks (plus face shield upon return to Jorge Chavez), Peru health declaration. I think that was about it.

Thanks for responding!

Do you need the health declaration form if you have never tested positive for COVID? I read on the CDC that you have to get that done if you can show proof that you received a positive test result.

If you plan to travel internationally, you will need to get tested no more than 3 days before you travel by air into the United States (US) and show your negative result to the airline before you board your flight, or be prepared to show documentation of recovery (proof of a recent positive viral test and a letter from your healthcare provider or a public health official stating that you were cleared to travel).

Can you get a test from any clinic or are there specific ones?

Thank you for your help! My parents are having their interview on July 2nd so any information is greatly appreciated.

The health declaration form is pretty basic and yes, form is required for all. If an individual has recovered from and/or tested positive for covid in the past 3 months, then they need to have a letter clearing for travel by a licensed healthcare provider or public health official. 

 

This is (generally) the form below. We filled ours out in advance, but at check-in they made us fill out their version which was almost exactly the same.

Anyway, best I can recommend, as I don't want to give you wrong or out-of-date information, is these two sites for the most relevant travel information:

Hi!

Did you have to go to a specific clinic to get the COVID test? Or can it be any clinic?

In Peru, we used Unilabs (unilabs.pe) for first trip and Pulso Salud (pulsosalud.com) for second trip. Both have various locations throughout Lima and I believe Unilabs does testing at the airport during certain hours but you will have to check as that may have changed.  The clinic has to be approved on the list of qualified testing centers. I have attached the file of clinics.
