Government of Anguilla Protocols Update:
1) agreed that in relation to the accepted pre-arrival tests, effective March 1, 2022, the 2 - 5 day testing window will no longer be adopted. Antigen tests must be taken within 2 days of arrival to Anguilla, and all other accepted tests must be taken within 3 days of arrival to Anguilla (RT-PCR/NAA/RNA);
2) noted and approved in principle the following changes to entry travel requirements on April 1:
a) all fully vaccinated travelers (including booster doses if initially vaccinated more than six months ago) (including returning residents) shall no longer be required to apply for entry, once presenting evidence of full vaccination with an approved vaccine and a negative COVID-19 test; NAA/PCR/RNA test within 3 days of travel and a rapid antigen within 2 days of travel. This information is to be presented to the aircraft, ship, agent or fixed based operator and again on arrival at the port;
b) all visitors 12 years and older are required to be fully vaccinated (including a booster if initially vaccinated more than 6 months ago). Unvaccinated visitors under 12 years old are only permitted entry into Anguilla if accompanied by fully vaccinated adult guardians when travelling. The exemption for pregnant women is to be removed given that several COVID-19 vaccines are approved for use in pregnancy;
c) arrival testing is to be discontinued for fully vaccinated persons with a valid pre-arrival test. Persons without the appropriate test documents will be required to do an arrival test and quarantine for 4 days at their own expense;
d) unvaccinated returning residents will be required to apply on the entry portal, test on arrival, quarantine for 7 days and also have a negative test to exit quarantine. Accordingly, the fee is to be reduced $100 per person;
e) unvaccinated returning residents under 5 years old once they are accompanied by fully vaccinated adult guardians when travelling will not be required to quarantine, but a Day 4 test will be administered; and
f) there shall be stricter enforcement of the regulations pertaining to aircraft and sea craft operators who carry persons without proper documentation, including a requirement that they must return the visitors in breach of vaccination requirements to the departure port.
