> 1.) No EU country requires vaccination or testing requirements for entry anymore. False. Portugal, Spain, Netherlands: https://www.government.nl/topics/coronavirus-covid-19/visiting-the-netherlands-from-abroad/exemptions-to-the-entry-ban https://www.government.nl/topics/coronavirus-covid-19/visiti... > An EU entry ban is in effect for people from countries outside the European Union/Schengen area. There are exemptions to the entry ban, for example for people travelling from a safe country or people with proof of vaccination or proof of recovery. This proof of vaccination or recovery must meet certain requirements. From 23 March 2022 people travelling to the Netherlands no longer need to show a negative test result.

It's very easy to get a EU cert from a US one (I did it through Switzerland, took about... 10 minutes?). Yeah, but what if I'm not in the US? What if I'm traveling in Latam? > This has always been the case. Maybe you didn't feel it if you have a US or French passport, but try being Bosnian and visiting NYC. Portugal opened for US citizens not several South American countries. It has now changed but point remains.
