Want a quick snapshot of the world and its Covid-related travel policies at any given time? The International Air Transport Association (Iata) has launched an interactive map that provides detailed information on the latest travel restrictions of every country.

The colour-coded map first divides all countries into one of four categories of travel policy — totally restrictive (darkest blue), partially restrictive (lighter blue), not restrictive (lightest blue), and those whose policies are currently under review (grey).

Pictured above is a snapshot of the world this week. Clicking on any country will launch a box with details about its specific rules.


The information is provided by Iata's Timatic database, which typically provides information on countries' entry requirements for all passport-holders. It is updated more than 200 times a day.

You can find the map here.
