Don't know the answers to all of your questions, but will give it a whirl on some of them. First, you should sit down and read the official site, through and through and make sure you understand the testing requirements.
LINKApparently the biggest problem that people have is filling things out wrong. Make sure you read the questions a couple of times and double-check your answers before you submit them. Your test results do have to be in a PDF for sure, as people have reported being denied because of submitting them in JPEG. You have to pay $30 PP for the stupid required insurance from SXM. Some people have reported having a problem with submitting the form for two people with the same email address, so make sure you use two different email addresses. If you have problems getting the permission, and it has been over about 12 hours, make sure everything you submitted is correct, and possibly re-submit, as apparently it shouldn't take over about 12-18 hours max for the approval. If all else fails, you can try to call the number on island, which is 721-542-1570
As far as places to get tested on island, again, take a look at the official SXM site
LinkIt lists places available on island to get the tests done, although the list is not a total list of what is available. Regarding the tests in Hope Estate, please do a SEARCH here, putting those two words in quotes, to get info on that. Apparently they will also be doing testing at PJIA, but other than the cost, which is more than other places, there is not a lot of info available on that yet. I GUESS the concept will be to have people be able to do it on the day of their flight, but as I said, not much info there yet. It is not listed on the official site yet either.
