Bahamas Updates Rules for Vaccinated Travelers

By: Caribbean Journal Staff - January 5, 2022

The Bahamas has updated its recently-announced rules for vaccinated travelers. 

That includes the suspension of a PCR requirement for vaccinated travelers — vaccinated travelers can continue to present a negative rapid antigen test or PCR test within 72 hours of travel to the country.

That also applies to children ages 2-11, who can present either a PCR or antigen test. 

For unvaccinated travelers, a PCR test is still required

The country has also added a requirement that all visitors staying for more than 48 hours in The Bahamas take a rapid antigen test on the third day of their trip.
