St Vincent and the Grenadines Waives Testing for Vaccinated Travelers 

By: Alexander Britell - June 13, 2022 - 12:48 pm

Another Caribbean destination has removed testing requirements for vaccinated travelers. 

St Vincent and the Grenadines has officially waived its testing requirement for fully vaccinated travelers. 

The new rules, which took effect this week, mean fully vaccinated travelers no longer have to fill out the pre-arrival form or arrive with a test result. 

Minors under the age of 18 will follow the protocol of their parents or guardians.

St Vincent and the Grenadines considers a traveler fully vaccinated if it’s been more than two weeks since the final dose of a two-dose vaccine or one dose of a single-dose shot. 

Travelers must show proof of vaccination.

What about unvaccinated travelers? 

It’s not quite as easy. 

They don’t have to fill out a pre-arrival form either, however they do have to show proof of a negative antigen test within 24 hours of arrival, or a PCR test within 72 hours/three days before arrival. 

And, in what is now unique in the Caribbean, they must mandatory quarantine in a government-approved hotel for five days, with a rest between three and four days of quarantine. 

Unvaccinated travelers can only be discharged from quarantine with a negative test.
