Curaçao recently updated its travel protocols for American and other “high-risk country” visitors, headlined by the requirement fo a negative PCR test result taken within 48 hours before flying to the island (the island requires a printed or digital copy of the result).

All visitors to the Dutch Caribbean island must also complete a digital immigration card (you can find it here), along with a Passenger Locator Card.

Every visitor must also undergo an antigen test at a local laboratory on-island on the third day of their trip.

Children under 12 who don’t show symptoms of Covid do not need to undergo a test.

The rules took effect this January.
