Health Travel Visa
Once in possession of a negative COVID-19 RT-PCR test, taken no more than seven days prior to arrival, all travelers will then need to apply for a Bahamas Health Travel Visa (at travel.gov.bs, click on the international tab) where the required test must be uploaded. The cost of the visa will depend on the length of stay.
Cost of rapid test included in the visa
The cost of the rapid tests on and after arrival also will be included in the cost of the visa. According to the government, the rapid tests are 'easy, quick and will yield results in 20 minutes or less with results being provided electronically.'
While Oct. 15 is still set for the reopening of the Bahamas' tourism sector, until Oct. 31 all visitors must 'vacation in place' for 14 days or the duration of stay, whichever is shorter, which means keeping to the grounds and amenities of a traveler's hotel or accommodations. Beginning Nov. 1, this requirement will be removed.
