All travelers, regardless of vaccination status, must fill out a health pre-authorization application through the Electronic Health Authorization System (EHAS) as early as 72 hours before arrival. Sint Maarten has changed the entry requirements beginning March 1, with all travelers who are fully vaccinated, as well as those who have recovered from COVID-19 in the last nine months, no longer being required to show proof of a negative test upon arrival. Unvaccinated individuals, however, must still provide a negative PCR test taken 48 hours prior to arrival or an antigen test taken 24 hours prior to arrival.
- Testing: All non-fully vaccinated and those with a past Covid-19 infection older than 9 months, are required to have a negative Covid-19 test in accordance with the required type of test. For the age category of 5 up to 10 years, an oropharyngeal swab will also be accepted.
- Documentation: Sint Maarten has established a mandatory health pre-authorization application through an Electronic Health Authorization System (EHAS) for every visitor arriving by air including transits, Sint Maarten and Saint Martin residents. Without health pre-authorization, boarding will not be possible. Be advised that processing time can take up to 12 hours. If health authorization is pre-approved, you will receive a (printable) pre-authorization PDF via e-mail, which must be presented at check-in and to the health and immigration authorities upon arrival. This PDF will also contain a QR code that will show the vaccination status and COVID test result when scanned. Keep the original rt-PCR or antigen test result and proof of vaccination always with you.
- Health Screening: All incoming passengers are subjected to temperature checks and other screening protocols and may be subjected to mandatory testing at their own expense.
