Covid travel requirementsPlease note that these are the requirements for the Dutch side, where 99% of people here enter by air. If you are entering by AIR directly to the French side, the rules are different. If you are on island, you can travel back and forth freely to the French side without any problem. If you are STAYING on the French side, you need to check to make sure whether you need to do anything additional. Information on testing on island for return to the USIn case you have problems with getting a EHAS approval, try this number in SXM. 721-542-1570

I'm not certain, but I don't think so. I think transit refers to someone who never leaves the airport, but flies on to a different destination.

Carol,
As far as I know, If you are in transit I don't believe you are allowed to leave the airport to go anywhere and are held in a separate area to await your next flight.
Respectfully,

pat--I think that is correct. The entrance requirements say that transit passengers have to have a Covid test, but they are exempt from the mandatory insurance. Possibly that is the reason for his question. Perhaps that is a question that needs to be asked of the EHAS folks, either by email or phone.

We just completed a 14 day request for a temp check from the EHAS. They emailed us every day, it was quite easy. I would suggest bringing thermometer. (Our’s “died”, and they are a lot more expensive on the island). Results can be sent either F or C. I have no idea what would happen if we did not comply with this simple measure.

This past winter, we passed our covid test and got our pre approval from EHAS. A couple days before we were to fly out we both got Covid and stayed home. We received an email every day we were supposed to be there and never responded to the emails. No follow up emails to see why not complying. Don't think they would have liked the results of our temperature checks. haha Wow. Just proves that the testing is worthless! Glad you did the right thing and stayed home.

Georgia--no, it just proves that the results can be negative one day and be positive the next day, which is what experts have said all along. And part of the reason why SXM wanted to go to 72 hours for PCR tests.

one of the questions on the form is hotel where you are staying. Does anyone know how you report multiple locations?

I'm not sure there is a correct answer, but if it were ME, I'd just put down the first place you are staying.

Can’t wait for a vaccine passport to come into play. It’s still theoretical at this point but it would be nice. Don't worry. Can see it coming from a mile away. Won't be long until you won't be able to leave home with out hearing "your paper's please."

Just to reiterate here--I think that everything one needs is in the original post. The most recent posts here don't have anything to do with the original topic. Unless there are changes to the entry requirements, what you need to know is in the original post.

My wife and I are planning a trip for one week in May. We are coming from New York. We have both received our first and doses of the vaccine. Do we still need to be tested prior to arrival? Are there any quarantine requirements? I under stand we need to take out the health insurance to cover any testing our medical needs while I am there. I assume masks are required in public places which is not an issue. The link in the original post provides the official government requirements. That is the best place to get accurate and current information about the requirements.

JD--right, and the April 2 update had only to do with Curacao, Bonaire and Aruba, nothing to do with the US.
