Does anyone know why the code would expire? We all did our EUDCC the same day and the rest of us are fine.
So she has a US CDC card fully vaxxed and boosted.
Now I have to go back and figure out if all these countries we are visiting will accept the US CDC card:
- Spain
- Turkey
- Greece
and now she has to test before we leave since we are transiting LIS and Portugal requires testing if all you have is a US CDC card.
spain is reporting cdc card allowed, turkey accepts cdc card, and greece in my recollection also accepts the cdc card. the only part that is unclear is portugal because visit portugal site and timatics show differently. if you still have the "QR code" from the "expired" swisspass... scan it into another EU app and see if it still works.... done and done.
plus you've been posting about this for a while (and in the portugal entry thread as well). by the time you go, it might all not matter.
as of right now, timatic shows LIS transit requirements from USA to Spain as follows: (doesn't specifically say EUDCC required, like it was previously)
