Bahamas eliminates the need for travel health visa as of Sunday, 19 June.

Furthermore, fully vaccinated travellers and children aged 2-11 will no longer require a negative COVID-19 test result to enter the country. Instead, they must show proof of vaccination prior to boarding and upon arrival.

Prior to boarding and upon landing, unvaccinated travellers aged 12+ will still be required to submit a negative result from a PCR test taken within 72 hours of arrival in the Bahamas.

All travellers must continue to follow on-island guidelines for mask wearing and social distancing.
