As of February 2 at midnight, all trips from or to Saint-Barthélemy are prohibited, unless justified by a compelling reason (see list below).
This is what emerges from the decree published on Sunday in the official journal, which follows the announcements of Prime Minister Jean Castex. “All travel to and from all of our overseas territories will be subject to the production of a compelling reason,” he announced on Friday January 29. But until the publication of the decree, it was not yet known whether this concerned foreign travelers. Tourism professionals were concerned about possible cancellations by American travelers.
The decree specifies that this applies to all trips. Including between Saint-Barthélemy and the United States, therefore, or between Saint-Barthélemy and Saint-Martin. Travelers who can prove a compelling reason will have to present a negative PCR test for Covid-19 within 72 hours.

Legal or economic impossibility to stay in the territory (on presentation of a redundancy document or an expiring residence permit). Finally, students at the start, resumption or end of a study cycle will also be able to cross borders on presentation of a school certificate established by the French or foreign establishment.
• Compelling health reason: "vital medical emergency" (for anyone and an accompanying person if his / her presence is essential) and on presentation of documents: medical certificate, proof of a scheduled hospitalization, etc.

When questioned, the services of the Prefecture of Saint-Martin and Saint-Barthélemy indicate that the return home of holidaymakers currently in our territories is considered a compelling reason.
