 Anguilla Ditches Pre-Arrival Testing Requirement for Vaccinated Tourists Starting on Aug. 8 

The Valley, Anguilla, July 2022:  Effective Aug. 8,  no pre-arrival testing for vaccinated visitors arriving in Anguilla will be necessary. Anguilla’s Ministry of Health announced this major change to the island’s entry protocols, as the island continues to strive toward learning to live with COVID-19 for the long term. Vaccination status must still be presented to the airlines on the check-in and on arrival at the ports of entry in St. Maarten and Anguilla.  Also effective August 8, unvaccinated visitors will be permitted to enter Anguilla, however, a  negative pre-arrival COVID-19 test result will be required although no quarantine or further testing will be necessary.  www.IvisitAnguilla.com

About Anguilla

Tucked away in the northern Caribbean, Anguilla is a shy beauty with a warm smile. A slender length of coral and limestone fringed with green, the island is ringed by 33 beaches, considered by savvy travelers and top travel magazines, to be the most beautiful in the world. A fantastic culinary scene, a wide variety of quality accommodations at varying price points, a host of attractions, and an exciting calendar of festivals make Anguilla an alluring and entrancing destination.   Anguilla lies just off the beaten path, so it has retained a charming character and appeal. Yet because it can be conveniently reached from three major gateways – Miami, FL (MIA), Puerto Rico (SJU), and St. Martin, (SXM), and by private air, it’s a hop and a skip away.   Romance? Barefoot elegance? Unfussy chic? And untrammeled bliss?   Lose The Crowd.  Find Yourself. In Anguilla.
