Bahamas Ministry Of Tourism & Aviation Statement On Border Closure To The United States Due To COVID-19
Outgoing flights will be permitted to accommodate any current visitors scheduled to return to the United States after Wednesday, July 22 .
Private flights and charters from the United States, as well as pleasure craft and yachts will be permitted, and travellers from Canada , the United Kingdom and the European Union are exempt from the emergency order. All visitors are required to present a negative COVID-19 RT-PCR test from a referenced lab, taken no more than 10 days prior to the date of travel.
Since opening borders to international travel on July 1 , The Bahamas has unfortunately experienced a deterioration in conditions relative to COVID-19. These restrictions have been put in place to protect the health and wellbeing of both residents and visitors, which remains of primary importance, and to prevent the spread of the virus throughout The Bahamas.
The Bahamas is reviewing and being guided by the most effective practices from around the world. Reopening of borders will continue to be monitored and guided by The
Bahamas government and health officials, based on COVID-19 trends.
