While the Bahamas is slowly beginning to open up to visitors, the process is still a bit restrictive. Although restrictive it is no possible to vacation in the Bahamas with a little preparation and planning.

The Government of the Bahamas has issued guidlines for travel to the Bahamas and are as follows:

“STEP 1:

Everyone travelling to The Bahamas must obtain a negative COVID-19 RT-PCR (swab) test taken no more than 5 days prior to the date of arrival. The day the test is taken is considered day zero. Test must return a negative result for entry into The Bahamas.

• Children 10 and under, and pilots and crew of commercial airlines who remain overnight in The Bahamas, are not required to take a test.
• Negative PCR test results must be uploaded in order to complete a Bahamas Health Visa application, and must be presented upon arrival in The Bahamas.
• Any person presenting test results older than 5 days will not be allowed entry into The Bahamas.

STEP 2:

Once in possession of a negative COVID-19 RT-PCR test, travellers can apply for their required Bahamas Travel Health Visa at travel.gov.bs. (Click on International Tab)

• As part of the Travel Health Visa application, travellers will be required to opt-in to COVID-19 health insurance that covers them for the duration of their stay in The Bahamas. The cost of insurance is included in the Travel Health Visa application fee.
• Travel Health Visa applications take up to 48 hours to process and should be completed with adequate lead time.
• The cost of the Travel Health Visa is dependent on length of stay.

*A Bahamas citizen or resident planning to travel abroad for five (5) days or less must secure a test in the destination they visited before travelling back to The Bahamas. Any RT-PCR test taken in The Bahamas prior to travel will not be valid for re-entry.”

COVID-19 Testing Prior to Departure from the Bahamas

“The Family Medicine Center will be offering a safe and convenient way for rapid antigen nasal swab testing to members of the airport community and passengers alike.

On-site testing will be available at LPIA for a fee a $40.00. Beginning tomorrow the 26 January 2021, testing will be available daily 9:00am to 5:00pm.

Results will be ready in 30 mins after the test has been administered. Testing will take place in Terminal C check-in hall in the office space opposite Bahamasair’s check in counters (adjacent to Bahama Pearl ).”
