What are the entry regulations related to COVID-19?
As a result, due to the global on-going vaccination process, there have been a few changes to the
quarantine and COVID-19 testing processes.
Fully Vaccinated Travellers
The Ministry of Health and Wellness has approved the COVID-19 AstraZeneca, Moderna, PfizerBioNTech or Johnson & Johnson vaccinations for entry into Barbados and effective May 8th, 2021,
travellers who are considered to be fully vaccinated are required to:
• Provide proof of a negative COVID-19 PCR test result 3 days prior to travel
• Provide a vaccination certificate on arrival to Barbados
• Have a standard or rapid COVID-19 PCR test done at the airport or their approved
accommodation
• Use specially designated transportation providers for their transport to their approved
accommodation and while awaiting their COVID-19 PCR test result
• Stay at their approved accommodation where they are free to move around in accordance
with the guidelines of that property
All fully vaccinated travellers will be required to quarantine for approximately 1 to 2 days.
-more-Unvaccinated Travellers
Any traveller who has not been fully vaccinated, not vaccinated at all, does not have any evidence
of vaccination or has travelled from or transited through a country where the prevalence of certain
variants of COVID-19 are deemed of particular concern to Barbados, are required to:
• Provide a negative COVID-19 PCR test on arrival 3 days prior to travel
