EU to ban Americans from entering when borders re-open

It sure sucks for immigrants to America, like me, who would like to see their European family again some day!
That's true, but even if it weren't, if you don't have a Canadian passport, or at least a Canadian residence, any EU border check will probably just refuse entry if you simply fly out of third country.
Can't wait to see twitter video clips of a bunch of white women screaming I WANT TO TALK TO YOUR MANAGER
I am so looking forward to hitting Europe this year after being in Paris at the start, but fuck it. Keep us banned as long as you have too, and spray with disinfectant any US streaming media properties on their way into your ethernets, lol
as long as you're turning the 1%'s jets around too and telling them they're not welcome until we get our house in order
Despite the despair and sadness this whole ordeal makes me feel like, your post made me chuckle, thanks.
America always gotta be number 1, fuck yeah!

Yep, me as well. Really pissed at how completely and thoroughly the US Gov. politicized and botched this thing. And being in Florida, I get to see the stupidity trickle down and parroted by mini-trump over here.
Talked to the family overseas the other day, and they've had one new case recently. One.
Absolutely infuriating ineptitude.
It's pretty difficult, legally speaking, for most countries to deny entry to their own citizens. So EU citizens coming back to the EU from the US will be allowed in. Exactly how that will work will depend on the country's own procedures for mitigating the spread of the virus but is likely to include at least a period of self-isolation in an address which is provided to local authorities.
This is kind of an academic question for now, though, since Europeans mostly can't get to the USA due to the USA's own travel ban and the small number of flights in operation. So the number of EU citizens in the USA who need to come back will be tiny.
Yes. The list will seemingly be based on the number of people infected in the past 14 days, per capita, for each country. If that country is doing notably worse on average than the EU, they'll be on the ban list.
Brazil will definitely be on the list of countries with higher infection rates than the EU, as will most of the rest of South America.
There was a similar story earlier in the week quoting EU sources and the suggestion then was that the list would be reviewed every 14 days. That means there's a chance that the ban could be lifted fairly quickly, but it would depend on how quickly the USA got fortnightly infection numbers down to approximately EU-like levels per capita. So the length of the ban is however long it takes for that to happen.
Even if you get into Canada and get on a flight to Europe, you'll of course need to go through passport control and they'll presumably stop you. I suppose you might be able to get through if you can conclusively prove that you have spent the past two weeks or more in Canada, but for Americans who want to get to Europe, well, I'd probably strongly recommend against the approach of living in Canada for two weeks and then trying their luck with EU border control.
While I agree with you, visas expire. Family tragedies occur. Stuff happens.
Traumatic times really.
So my wife and I's honeymoon is in September. We're booked for France/Italy/Switzerland.
This sucks but it's probably the right call...

It has. The EU asked member countries to ban most travel, and that ban was renewed several times, and is still in place.
What's happening now is that the EU are considering how to lift that ban (most importantly, which countries it will lift the ban on first). So it's not really the EU banning people from the US, it's more like the EU raising existing restrictions for a small list of countries which does not include the US.
I just hope they allow layover flights....although I doubt my home country will let anyone in any time soon. 😕 I get it tough.
I can't blame them when the powers that be along with a not-insignificant portion of the population refuse to get their shit together.

The people always bitching about personal rights and support Trump are the same kind of people that believe the US is the best country in the world and have no desire to travel abroad.
It depends on exactly where you fuck up. If you do it close enough to the USA, probably the US Coast Guard rescues you. If you do it close enough to Europe, probably the Irish Coast Guard rescues you, and then you get deported. If you fuck up somewhere in the middle of the Atlantic, then you die. If you make it to Europe without dying and without having to be rescued (and then deported) then you'll be in Europe, and I guess at that point you're going to be okay for as long as you can avoid interacting with any government organisations. Unfortunately that might be difficult unless you plan on abandoning your boat, because otherwise you'll probably have to deal with some kind of marine authority.
That's a big honeymoon lol
Time to get that canceled and refunded
Yeah. We had a Japan trip in May that we had to do that for.
We were gonna try for a kid after the trip. Guess that changes too lol.
I mean in a personal boat that'll take you a few weeks so that's basically self quarantine if you can prove it so maybe?
