The European Union banned all non-essential travel from third countries to the union in March 2020 due to the covid-19 outbreak. EU gradually granted travel permission to a limited number of countries as of June 30, 2020. Since then, the list of the European Union has been updated periodically.


The Council’s decision is advisory and not binding on member states.
