Question

Do I need a Passport?

Answer

Yes, you will need a passport that is valid for at least 6 months from your travel date. Passports take 8-11 weeks to process so be sure to apply or renew by December 2022 to ensure you get it on time. Check out https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/passports.html

Question

When do I need to take Covid tests?

Answer

For obvious reasons, everyone must take a Covid test prior to the wedding. Take a rapid test 24-48 hours prior to traveling or a PCR test 24-72 hours before traveling (keep results available to show at the BGI airport) and we ask that you bring a test to take before the rehearsal dinner. If you feel symptoms prior to traveling, please stay home and refer to Sandals' vacation assurance.

Question

What are the COVID-19 vaccination requirements?

Answer

The vaccination requirements change according to the Barbados government based on the current covid climate. Here is the website to check for updates https://www.visitbarbados.org/covid-19-travel-guidelines-2022. Please note that while vaccinations are no longer required, there is an isolation period and the vaccine requirement can go into effect again at any point. We strongly recommend that all guests are vaccinated to avoid missing the wedding due to covid protocols. This means you will need to have your full vaccination no later than April 12, 2023. Please see https://www.sandals.com/vacation-assurance/ for updates on Sandals covid protocol and to view FAQs. We would love for everyone to come vaccinated so we can minimize the potential dangers of covid for all our guests during this special time.
