On stmaartenehas.com, listed under travel requirements, the announcement reads: “As of October 15, 2022, unvaccinated residents are no longer required to be tested prior to arrival. EHAS application must still be completed. As of October 15, 2022, travel insurance is now optional for visitors. Non-residents who are not fully vaccinated are required to submit a negative 24 hr. Ag. (Antigen) or 48 hr. PCR (Polymerase chain reaction) result. Transit passengers will still be required to complete an EHAS application.”
On Wednesday, during the Council of Minister’s press briefing, Prime minister Silveria Jacobs announced, in her capacity as acting minister of VSA, that the announced change of EHAS has been postponed two weeks, from October 15 until November 1. “I did get an update from the minister of VSA,” Jacobs said. “As of November 1, all measures such as testing, and vaccination info will no longer be required. And the EHAS will be only utilised for data purposes. So not for what is being done now, but for data purposes that is needed at the country level.”

Les passagers en provenance de Saint-Barthélemy n'ont plus à fournir de preuve de test Covid lorsqu'ils arrivent à l'aéroport Princess Juliana à Sint Maarten.

[h=1]FIN DE L'EHAS À SINT-MAARTEN DÈS LE 1ER NOVEMBRE[/h]
23/10/2022

Le ministre de la santé publique, du développement social et du travail de Sint-Maarten, Omar Ottley, a annoncé jeudi lors d'une rencontre avec les membres de l'association de l'hôtellerie et du commerce que les restrictions de voyage nées de la crise sanitaire du Covid seraient levées à partir du 1er novembre. Une décision qui inclut évidemment la disparition de l'EHAS (document électronique d'autorisation sanitaire) et qui découle d'une demande formulée par les membres de l'association de l'hôtellerie et du commerce. En effet, il y a neuf jours, l'association a plaidé publiquement en faveur de la suppression de l'EHAS, car elle craignait que "les restrictions de voyage liées au COVID-19 limitent le potentiel pour Sint-Maarten de vivre une forte saison touristique". Le ministre de la santé publique précise toutefois que même après la levée des mesures, des agents seront présents dans les zones d'arrivée pour s'assurer que des voyageurs ne présentent pas de symptômes inquiétants.

Not test. No EHAS. Starting 11/1/2022. Bon.

Does anyone have an update on the default on airport bonds & negotiations with respect to insurance? After five years, you’d think that some resolutions would be near.
