“Even a routine trip to the Bahamas effective Oct. 15 is going to reuire some onerous protocols for visitors like a prior coviod test and a visa etc.”
Are you saying or is it being said ...
Visa now required for Bahamas ?
Are they extending that to every private island a cruise line owns ???!
Screw that.
Bahamas New Procedures in Place from October 15th
The most notable requirement would be that the Bahamas require everyone to obtain an RT-PCR swab test no more than seven days before traveling to the Bahamas. With a negative test result, you should then apply for a visa.
Only with the negative test result and a valid visa will you be allowed to travel to the Bahamas. Upon arrival, a rapid antigen test will be conducted. How this will be coordinated with thousands of passengers disembarking large cruise ships remains to be seen.
The Bahama’s aims to open up the tourism industry by air and sea from October 15th onwards. Tourists aiming to travel to the Bahamas between the 15th and 31st of October will only be allowed to vacation in place. They are effectively being restricted to hotel grounds only.
