By: Alexander Britell - January 16, 2022

The Dutch Caribbean island of Bonaire has announced an update to its entry travel protocols, Caribbean Journal has learned.

The new rules, which just went into effect on Jan. 16, mean fully vaccinated visitors can travel to Bonaire with either a negative rapid antigen test taken within 24 hours before departure to Bonaire or a negative PCR test taken within 48 hours before departure to Bonaire.

For visitors who are not fully vaccinated or unvaccinated, Bonaire requires a negative PCR test taken within 48 hours before departure to Bonaire.

Bonaire is also removing its requirement for a self test upon arrival and removing its requirement for a test after five days on the island; neither are required any longer.

The rules apply to visitors from all countries.
