Europe might be gradually lifting its borders this summer, but that doesn’t mean everyone will be welcome.
After being given the green light by the European Commission, the Schengen countries and the Schengen-associated states of the European Union are allowed to lift internal border restrictions starting on June 15, with plans to allow travelers from beyond the EU on July 1. External EU borders will only be lifted, however, for residents of countries deemed safe, meaning the United States will most likely still be barred from entry.
