Entry vaccepted COVID-19 vaccines in TCI
From 1st September 2021, all visitors to the TCI will need to meet the following entry requirements;
Accepted COVID-19 vaccines in TCI
The list of vaccines accepted for entry to the TCI now includes WHO approved vaccines. At the time of publishing, this expanded list includes; Sinopharm (BBIP-CorV (Vero Cells)) and Sinovac (CoronaVac).
Accepted mixed COVID-19 vaccines
Mixing of accepted vaccines (in a two-dose series) is accepted for entry into TCI; once fourteen (14) days have passed since receiving the second dose.
Recovered from COVID-19 with one dose
If you have recovered from COVID-19, you still need a full series of an accepted COVID-19 vaccine or combination of accepted vaccines. If you’ve only had one dose of an accepted vaccine other than Janssen (Johnson & Johnson), you don’t qualify for the fully vaccinated traveler entry requirement for visitors.
No exceptions for partially-vaccinated travelers
At this time, there are no exemptions for visitors who haven't received the full series of a vaccine or a combination of vaccines accepted by the TCI unless a medical exemption is provided by a licensed physician.
