Has anyone in U.S.A. had luck getting a HT abroad during the pandemic?

I'm an American. I was supposed to get 3000 grafts done back in June of 2020 with Dr. De Freitas in Spain. Like many others I had to postpone the procedure due to the ongoing pandemic. The new date is March of 2021 but it seems unlikely that I'll be able to make it. 

 

Long shot but has any other American had any luck besides getting into Turkey?

Vaccines will be rolled out soon. I don't see the travel bans going past summer. It sucks, but a few more months is nothing in the grand scheme of things.

I wouldnt do that because if you do schedule a surgery, and the destination country doesnt let you in, you then lose your deposit as well as having your surgery cancelled. 

No reputable clinic would penalize you because of the nebulous Corona restrictions all over the place.

Maybe, but the clinic does lose a lot of money because of the cancelled surgery which couldve been filled by a local patient.  So the doctor loses money, and OP has his surgery cancelled, which means he has to re-book (probably with a clinic in his area this time), and wait another 3 months

I think Biden just re-instated some of the travel restrictions. I was able to go to Mexico last month with no problems, but Europe is a lot more cautious and was hit a lot worse.
