100 PLUS COUNTRIES THAT REQUIRE A YELLOW CARD FOR INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL

The yellow card for travel is the second most important item in the pre-departure check-list right after the passport. This further begs the question  ‘How many countries do I need a yellow card to visit? and ‘To whom is a yellow fever card issued?’

Our article today answers these questions and also list countries that require a yellow card from citizen or traveler from countries with cases of yellow fever.

The yellow card is endorsed by the World Health Organization (WHO). It is then issued and stamped by various country’s health authorities.

Did you know the Yellow fever vaccination is carried out for two different purposes?

  1. To prevent the international spread of the disease by protecting countries from the risk of importing or spreading the yellow fever virus
  2. To protect individual travelers who may be exposed to yellow fever infection.

Are there penalties for not having a yellow card or having an expired yellow card?

The penalty varies for different countries, in mild cases, travelers are quarantined for a period of time and in extreme cases, travelers may face deportation.

In India, anyone (except infants up to the age of 6 months) arriving by air or sea without a yellow fever vaccination certificate is detained in isolation for up to six days if that person

(i) Arrives from an area with risk of yellow fever transmission

(ii) Has been in such an area in transit  or

(iii) Arrives on a ship that started from or touched at any port area with risk of yellow fever transmission up to 30 days before its arrival in India.
