Vaccinated Irish people will be allowed back into the United States from November 8.
It was confirmed today that the restrictions first implemented by Donald Trump in early 2020 will finally be lifted - Reuters reports
The White House, which held a meeting late Thursday to finalise the date, still faces some remaining questions, including how and what exemptions the Biden administration will grant to the vaccine requirements.
Irish tourists who are not American citizens will need to be vaccinated against Covid-19 to enter the country.
Additionally, they will need to provide proof of vaccination as well as a negative coronavirus test taken within three days of departing Ireland.
By doing this, they will not be required to quarantine on arrival.
Children who are not yet eligible for vaccines are yet to be exempt from the requirements.
The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) considers someone fully vaccinated with any FDA or WHO authorised jabs, a spokesperson said on Monday.
Among the 33 nations benefitting from the eased rules are Ireland, the UK, 26 so-called Schengen countries in Europe, as well as China, India, South Africa, Iran and Brazil.
At the moment, only citizens and lawful permanent residents of the US, certain family members, and other people who meet specified exceptions are allowed to enter the States.
However, American tourists are already being welcomed back to Ireland, as well as the likes of Italy, Spain and France, after the European Council added the US to the list of Covid-19 safe countries on June 18.
