Bring them to get back... BVI officially does not accept the rapid test for entry though some have reported having gotten by with it. I wouldn't chance it. Easy enough to get a PCR test before leaving home.

Ok, so I go to my local CVS for a "Molecular lab test (PCR / NAAT)" as it says on their web site. That should get me into BVI. If I choose not to bring a test kit, how do I get a Covid test on Tortola before I head home?

How long does it take to get results? I'd rather be sailing than returning to RT days earlier than I need to. You take the test and the proctor sets a 15 minute timer. When the timer goes off, a new proctor will join your session to interpret the results. The results are updated in the app immediately and the lab report comes to your email a few minutes later.

Jason, based on your experience, is the results in the app good enough at the airport? Or do I need to print the results?

You can probably show it on your phone if you need to.

I would personally ALWAYS have a printed out copy of test results. We have all had that experience of a grumpy immigration agent--regardless of the country involved. I foresee someone getting their back up because they don't want to handle or look at your phone. Or, god forbid, your battery dies and you can't pull up the file. Have a printed copy available.

Do you need each person taking the test to download the app and open a account or can you do multiple tests for different people off the same account? You don't actually need the app for the test but everyone needs an account.
