Rules depend on the route, animal and operating carrier. Confirm your own journey with the relevant authority and airline.
Applicable conditions
Official border pages differ: Ipsala says titre above 0.5 IU/mL and 90 days from the first result; Trabzon and the model use at least 0.5, and Trabzon counts three months from sampling to entry. These clocks and equality boundaries differ. Obtain the actual entry authority’s accepted schedule; do not omit waiting because the older US guide is shorter.
