If you have received both of the required vaccine doses and are able to provide information, tap on “Yes”. If you are unvaccinated (no doses at all) or not able to provide proof, tap on “No”. If you choose this option, you’ll need to acknowledge that you must be fully vaccinated to qualify for border exemptions. At this point, answer a final Yes/No question if you’re unable to receive a vaccine for medical reasons; you’ll need to then provide proof of a valid medical exemption.

Answer the Yes/No question if you’ve received a second dose. If you choose “Yes”, provide the same information. If you choose “No”, click on the next arrow and continue through the acknowledgments regarding medical exemptions.

You can either use your camera to take a new photo, or upload an existing one saved on your device (the file format must be JPG/JPEG, PNG, or PDF). Up to two images can be uploaded.

People who are totally unvaccinated or have only received 1 out of 2 vaccine doses must still undergo pre-arrival testing. If yes, enter the country where you’ve received the test.
