Anguilla has unveiled its new protocols for travelers, highlighted by slightly eased entry rules for boosted travelers. 

The new rules are a bit complicated, so here’s what travelers need to know. 

As of April 1, fully vaccinated travelers over 18 will no longer have to apply for permission to enter the island. 

Travelers will, however, still have to present evidence of full vaccination and a negative test — either a PCR test taken within three days before travel, or an antigen test within two days of travel. 

That brings us to Anguilla’s on-arrival testing. 

For those who have received their booster shot, or received their full vaccination schedule in the last six months, no arrival test is required. 

For those who have been fully vaccinated, but were vaccinated more than six months before their trip to Anguilla, an arrival test is required at a cost of $50. 

Anguilla is the only Caribbean destination currently requiring on-arrival testing for fully vaccinated travelers.

Unvaccinated visitors under 18 can only enter Anguilla if they’re accompanied by fully vaccinated travelers. 

Unvaccinated travelers who have received a medical exemption to vaccination must apply for entry, test on arrival, quarantine for five days and then receive a negative test to exit quarantine.

The Dutch Caribbean island of Bonaire has eased its entry requirements for travelers, Caribbean Journal has learned. 

Fully vaccinated travelers whose second vaccine dose or booster shot was given within the last 270 days will no longer be required to take a test to travel to Bonaire. 

Unvaccinated travelers or travelers whose last shot was administered more than 270 days ago must take an antigen test within 24 hours before departure. 

Alternatively, they can take a PCR test within 48 hours before departure. 

All travelers, irrespective of vaccination status, must still fill out the health declaration form to visit Bonaire (you can find it here). 

The lighter requirements come as tourism continues to grow to Bonaire, thanks to its already-strong diving industry and an increasing number of visitors drawn to the island for its buzzing culinary scene.

The Caribbean island is also eyeing a strong summer season, buoyed by its highly-anticipated Bonaire Rum Week in June (for more, visit Bonaire Rum Week).
