For arrivals to the Bahamas:
What are the travel requirements for entering The Bahamas? To assist with preventing the spread of COVID-19 and reduce the risk of exposure, registered guests will need to follow these government protocols:
Everyone traveling to The Bahamas must obtain a negative COVID-19 RT-PCR (swab) test taken no more than five (5) days prior to their arrival date in The Bahamas. Children 10 and under are not required to take a test.
Once a negative COVID-19 RT-PCR (swab) test is obtained, travelers can apply for their required Bahamas Travel Health Visa at http://travel.gov.bs.

The cost of the Travel Health Visa is dependent on the length of stay and is subject to change.
• $40 per person for a 4-night, five-day stay.
• $60 per person for more than a four-night stay.
• Children 10 years and under are free.
• The fee includes mandatory health insurance.

We recommend all travelers interested in visiting The Bahamas review entry requirements and safety measures applicable to each member of their party at bahamas.com before booking a trip. Additionally, we recommend all travelers to review international re-entry requirements, some of which are listed below.

All air passengers, including returning American citizens, arriving in The United States by airline (commercial and private) will have to present proof of a negative COVID-19 test taken within three days (72 hours) of travel.
