Indeed, that is great news!!  Somehow, I think the requirement to re-enter the US will still be in place for a while, but it's a start!!

Obviously YES, you will have to show your vaccination card, because the requirements remain the same, for those NOT vaccinated.. I assume that means that one will still have to get the EHAS authorization. Hopefully those that are fully vaccinated will be able to get their forms submitted earlier than before.

dave--as I said, the Facebook site for SXM is "official" for SXM government. It's stupid, but it is what is is.

This is really good news if it holds up. A posting on FB is not what you would call a primary source. Anyone with a reference? well, give him a call-1-721-549-0200🙄🙄 - FYI its is a whole lot quicker to update the Official Gvt site on FB than it is to do their on-line website. There iusuallyly QA/Testing involved and then the update is pushed to production.. JS....

So then will we need to send in our proof of Vax to get permission? Again thinking of the airlines and what they may require to get on a jet going there. I am sure more will come out but certainly want the info.
I prefer the Isle seat

martini--NO. The release says that unvaccinated folks will still need to have a test.

Dear all, Let us move over from the “Dutch” part Sint Maarten to the French part Saint-Martin and an article published today, October 20: https://www.faxinfo.fr/en/covid-19-...-francaise-pour-les-touristes-etrangers/My interpretation regarding those, from the US, who want to land in Sint Maarten, but wants to sleep in Saint-Martin: two mandatory requirements exists. A proof of negative rt-PCR test not older than 72 hours when initially entering French territory; A proof of two vaccine doses taken. Is that a correct interpretation? Kindly, Lars

Well, crap on a cracker! We miss this new regulation by six days.  But it's good news for everyone else. Same for me. Five days for me.

Kindly, Lars This is how I read it, but I don't see anyway this will be enforced. Are they going to set up check points and road blocks to check peole traveling from the Dutch side to the French side???

You'll probably still need to apply through EHAS and pay for the insurance. I assume you'll need to say what vaccine you got as only approved ones will qualify. A list was provided in the news release. Your CDC vaccine card should state which vaccine you received along with the dates. I'm sure they'll want a scan of that card to issue the approval.

Dear “mdlgdl”,
Since the pandemic started, the French authorities has put the control function on the hoteliers (including myself who is letting via Airbnb at Mont Vernon).
Please, it would be very stressful if guests from the US would show up for check-in without both the PCR-test and full vaccination proof. I.e. no hotelier (on the French side) would survive a bad relation with the French authorities.
Please, continue to fulfil the both the requirements of Sint Maarten and Saint-Martin!
Kindly, Lars Understood

I wasn't disputing that.
