Would be very interested to hear the 'back story' regarding the supposedly 'invalid' Covid 19 test..

Hopefully there will be some additional information released as to why the test was deemed invalid. This is the ultimate nightmare, to supposedly have done what is required, and then be denied entry.

I changed the title of this thread, as the supposedly 'invalid' test is a much bigger story..

Has anyone heard any more about this? Whenever SXM does finally open up to US visitors, it would be nice to know that you are not going to be turned away because of some issue with the test. I understand that Aruba is differentiating between what is required for different states, which I think is going to be a nightmare, as far as enforcement. They are supposed to open to US citizens tomorrow, so it will be interesting to see how it goes.

Any US citizen is not legally able to travel to SXM right now, so it doesn't matter what type of test she had.
The lady involved in this story was on KLM from the Netherlands. As far as 'certified', that is a good question, but it is my understanding that many or most test results aren't even in writing, other than an email, etc.

I would be surprised if anyone is getting results with a raised seal on them. There is an Air France due in at 2:15 today (delayed to that time). Although I'm not certain, I think this will only be the second plane in since they reopened to Europe. Hopefully more information will be available from the government soon, as to what format the test results are supposed to be in.

I don't know if this story from the DH is really true or not, as there hasn't been anything posted about it after this, and one would think there would be.
As far as the 'no evidence of Covid 19' situation, from my understanding, that was claimed by the OTHER person who posted themselves on several sites. They claimed they weren't allowed in because of the test. THAT person supposedly was a US citizen, who attempted to enter SXM BEFORE it is legally able to do so, on a charter from the US. The conditions on the FAQ site for the government say that private flight charters are ONLY allowed to come in for people who are connecting directly to their yachts, which that person was not.
It would be really helpful if the SXM government would be more clear as to what the requirements are for the test.
