Details:
Here are the requirements for travel to St Barts after June 9.
- All travelers aged 18 and older will need to provide proof that they have been fully vaccinated (2 shots, with the last taken at least 14 days prior to travel). Travelers will need to send proof of vaccination to their villa rental agency or hotel prior when making their reservation. Travelers may also be asked to show proof of vaccination when checking in, and again when arriving.
- In addition, all travelers aged 10 and older will need to provide proof of a negative Covid 19 PCR test taken no more that 3 full days prior to arrival. Alternatively, travelers can take a Covid-19 rapid antigen test no more than two full days prior to arrival. Travelers will need to show proof of a negative result when checking in for their flights.
- If you are traveling to St. Barths through St Martin, even if you are not spending a night in St Martin, travelers will need to pre-register to enter St Martin airport. The online form is called EHAS (Electronic Health Authorization System). To complete it you will need the results of your PCR test.
Please note: When returning home via St Martin you will also be required to submit a request via EHAS to enter St Martin, although no additional testing is required.
