Dominican Republic Travel Advisory

Travel advisory june 6, 2023, dominican republic - level 2: exercise increased caution.

Reissued with updates to health information.

Exercise increased caution in the Dominican Republic due to crime.

Country Summary:  Violent crime, including armed robbery, homicide and sexual assault is a concern throughout the Dominican Republic. The development of a professional tourist police corps, institution of a 911 system in many parts of the country, and a concentration of resources in resort areas means these tend to be better policed than urban areas like Santo Domingo. The wide availability of weapons, the use and trade of illicit drugs, and a weak criminal justice system contribute to the high level of criminality on the broader scale.

Read the country information page for additional information on travel to the Dominican Republic.

If you decide to travel to the Dominican Republic:

• Be aware of your surroundings.
• Do not physically resist any robbery attempt.
• Do not display signs of wealth, such as wearing expensive watches or jewelry.
• Follow the advice of resort and tour operators regarding local safety and security concerns.
• Enroll in the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP) to receive Alerts and make it easier to locate you in an emergency.
• Follow the Department of State on Facebook and Twitter .
• Review the Country Security Report for the Dominican Republic.
• Prepare a contingency plan for emergency situations.  Review the Traveler’s Checklist .
• Visit the CDC page for the latest Travel Health Information related to your travel.

Here are the new rules for visiting the Caribbean

Oct 5, 2020 • 15 min read

The Caribbean is beginning to open its borders to tourists © Steve Photography / Shutterstock

As COVID-19 restrictions ease all over the world, Caribbean countries have begun the process of reopening to tourists for the summer months. Each country has instituted a series of strict guidelines to protect not only its citizens but visitors to the respective island as well. As a whole, the Caribbean responded quickly to the COVID-19 pandemic and as a result, infection numbers have remained fairly low. To maintain that level of success, governments are taking reopening seriously. Here's what you need to know before traveling to the Caribbean. 

Editor's note: Please check the latest travel restrictions before planning any trip and always follow government advice.

Anguilla  opened its borders to travelers on Aug. 21. 

“Anguilla is currently COVID-19 free, so our objective has always been to reopen in a prudent way, taking every precaution to protect the health and safety of our residents and our guests,” said Parliamentary Secretary for Tourism Quincia Gumbs-Marie. “We have witnessed the developments on some of our neighboring islands, and we have therefore established very strict protocols, grounded in our ability to contain and mitigate the risks of an imported case.”

A few of the health and safety protocols include filling out an entry form, presenting a negative COVID-19 PCR test taken within three to five days before arrival and health insurance that will cover any COVID-related medical treatments. 

All visitors will be tested upon arrival with an additional test given 10 days later. If the second test is negative, travelers are free to move around the island. 

According to a press release issued by Anguilla Tourism, "Visitors from low-risk countries will be given preference; those from high-risk countries will be assessed on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration their place of residence."

Antigua and Barbuda

The country welcomed its first international tourists on June 4 via an American Airlines flight from Miami. 

According to the Ministry of Health and Wellness , all travelers arriving in the country must present "a negative COVID-19 RT-PCR (real-time polymerase chain reaction) test result, taken within seven days of their flight." Visitors will be assessed by health officials upon arrival and required to fill out a health declaration form. Travelers will also be monitored by health officials for up to 14 days. According to health and safety protocols for the country , face masks are required in common areas and social distancing is strongly encouraged. 

The island  opened in stages with The Caribbean (excluding the Dominican Republic & Haiti), Canada and Europe receiving the green light on July 1 and the United States on July 10. 

"The safety and well-being of our residents and visitors is our highest priority. As we prepare to reopen our borders, Aruba has put in place advanced public health procedures to reduce the risk of COVID-19 on the island," said Prime Minister Evelyn Wever-Croes via a press release  in June. "We have taken careful and deliberate steps to assess the current situation and make certain it is as safe as possible and appropriate to begin the reopening process."

The country has instituted island-wide protocols that “adhere to the highest standards of health, sanitation, and social distancing” according to a press release. 

American travelers from high-risk locations will require additional testing . 

The Bahamas

After a few starts and stops in its reopening process,  The Bahamas  has instituted yet another set of travel regulations. Beginning on November 1, travelers to the country will no longer have to quarantine as long as they present a negative COVID-19 test.   

According to the country's  safety protocols , the negative PCR test must no more than seven days old upon arrival. 

All travelers will be required to complete an electronic Health Visa before entry. Each traveler will need to upload their test results and provide contact information that is crucial for contact tracing purposes.

At airports and seaports, healthcare personnel will conduct temperature screenings for all incoming visitors. Travelers will be required to wear a face mask in any situation where it is necessary to enforce physical distancing guidelines, such as when entering and transiting air and sea terminals, while navigating security and customs screenings, at baggage claim and during the full duration of a tax ride.

Barbados reopened its borders to tourists on July 12. Visitors from high-risk countries (those with more than 10,000 new cases in the prior seven days) are encouraged to take a COVID-19 PCR test 72 hours before departure to Barbados. Visitors from low-risk countries can take a test within a week before their departure. Travel guidelines for entry into Barbados are based on the COVID-19 risk of each country.

All travelers must provide proof of a negative test and observe social distancing protocols and wear a face mask at the airport. 

Applications are open for remote workers who want to move to Barbados for a year

On July 1 Bonaire opened its borders to travelers who have quarantined for 14 straight days in one of these low-risk countries: Belgium, Germany, Switzerland, France and the Netherlands. Visitors must adhere to the country's thorough  COVID-19 protocols . Among them include signing a health declaration, taking a PCR-test 72 hours before arrival, wearing face masks and practicing social distancing.  

British Virgin Islands

The British Virgin Islands are reopening its borders to visitors on December 1. BVI Premier and Minister of Finance Andrew A. Fahie stressed the importance of the government and its citizens working together to make the reopening not only successful but safe. 

"We have two full months to prepare and we must get it right and we must get it done—all of us working together—Government, private sector, the public working together with BVILOVE," Fahie said in a press release . 

Specific protocols for entry into the country is expected to be released in the coming weeks. 

"The fact remains that we have to be able to re-open up our economy and to re-open up our economy the safest way using science and technology to guide us," Fahie said.  

Cayman Islands 

The Cayman Islands began its phased reopening of its borders on Oct. 1. The first phase will not allow tourists (that's expected to come in the second phase), but will welcome long-term homeowners, students and the families of residents. 

Those visitors will be expected to quarantine at home for 14 and may be subject to tracking. 

“We are continuing to monitor and learn from the experiences of jurisdictions that have already opened and we are putting robust health and safety mechanisms in place so that when it becomes safe to do so, tourists can gradually be welcomed back to our shores, enabling people to return to work,” said Tourism Minister Moses Kirkconnell via the Cayman News Service .

As of July 1,  Curaçao reopened its borders to a maximum of 10,000 passengers from Austria, Canada, China, Cuba, Czech Republic, Denmark, Germany, Finland, France, Greece, Guyana, Hungary, Italy, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Switzerland, Taiwan, Turkey, Turks and Caicos, Uruguay, United Kingdom. Countries not included on the list are seen as high-risk and will require visitors quarantine for 14 days. 

According to  Curaçao's website , before arrival, visitors must complete a  digital immigration card , fill out a "Passenger Locator Card" (PLC) and provide a negative result from a certified COVID-19 PCR-test. Travelers must provide printed copies for both the PLC and the test result. 

Once on the island, visitors are expected to follow the standard social distancing practices and wear a face mask in those instances when distancing is not possible. Hospitality facilities are open, along with, bars, restaurants and beach clubs. Just make a reservation in advance.   

Editor's note: A travel bubble has been established between the countries of Aruba, Bonaire and Curaçao. 

A recent surge in COVID-19 cases in Havana has caused reopening plans to stall in Cuba . In late June, the country announced that visitors could travel to the island, but would be isolated from locals. After getting tested at the airport, travelers who tested negative would be moved to the country's outlying island resorts on Cayo Coco, Cayo Guillermo, Caya Santa Maria and Caya Largo del Sur, according to Timeout . Travelers will not be allowed to visit Havana.  

Yes, Americans, you can still visit Cuba  

The Nature Island  reopened to tourists on Aug. 7. According to Dominica's Tourism board , health and safety protocols include: 

“All travelers must submit a health questionnaire online at least 24 hours before arrival, show notification of clearance to travel and submit a negative PCR test result recorded within 24-72 hours before arrival.  

Upon arrival, visitors must wear face masks during the entire arrival process, observe social distancing guidelines, practice good respiratory and personal sanitization and follow all instructions of healthcare staff and officials.” 

Visitors will be expected to follow proper health and safety protocols during the entire stay. 

Dominican Republic 

The Dominican Republic reopened its borders to visitors on July 1.  

From September 15, the government will scrap its mandatory COVID-19 PCR test requirement and will instead perform random tests. It also introduced a free travel assistance policy to cover some emergency costs should holidaymakers contract the virus during their stay. The plan will be in place until December 31, 2020. Other health and safety protocols include wearing a mask in public areas.

Grenada  officially reopened its borders to international travelers on July 15. Health and safety protocols are largely based on where visitors are traveling from. Visitors from CARICOM bubble countries like Barbados, Dominica, St. Kitts & Nevis, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines require no PCR test and no quarantine upon arrival. Travlers from low-risk countries are required to present a negative PCR test within seven days of travel and no quarantine. All other visitors must: (according to the Ministry of Health website ):

Travelers from high-risk countries will be required to submit a negative COVID-19 PCR test within 10 days of arrival, while travelers from low-risk countries may be required to a swab test upon arrival. 

“Health and safety are paramount as we reopen our tourist industry on a phased basis,” says Donovan White, Jamaica’s Director of Tourism via a press release. “Risk assessment is an important part of preventing further spread of COVID-19 and ensuring that our visitors and residents stay safe. We have developed and are implementing procedures throughout the visitor journey that ensure a seamless process so they are able to enjoy what our island and its people have to offer.”

  ISLAND LIFE TRAVEL TIP : GET TRAVEL INSURANCE

When planning an international vacation,  Travel Insurance   is a must in our opinion. Since your health insurance likely doesn’t cover you while outside of the country, travel insurance makes sure if you accidentally break a bone or get food poisoning, your medical needs are covered. Travel insurance also typically covers you for trip cancellation, lost or stolen luggage (it happens), Covid issues, flight delays, missed connections and more. We think it’s a no brainer and should be factored into any international trip budget. You can easily compare the  top-rated travel insurance plans here .

New CDC warnings for several Caribbean destinations over COVID-19

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention offered its first weekly travel advisory updates of the new year, and it includes a strong warning to "avoid travel" to Aruba due to a "very high risk" of COVID-19.

The CDC also updating its warning levels on several other popular Caribbean destinations including the Bahamas and St. Martin .

To stay up to date on travel news and advice from TPG, sign up for our daily newsletter .

Aruba was added to Level 4, the CDC's highest-risk category when determining COVID risk levels. Countries are moved to Level 4 when more than 500 positive cases per 100,000 residents are detected in the past 28 days.

"Because of the current situation in Aruba, even fully vaccinated travelers may be at risk for getting and spreading COVID-19 variants," the CDC declared on its official website .

Aruba, one of the most popular winter getaways, is still open for travel and airlines are still flying there. It has its own entry requirements for travelers coming from nations deemed high-risk. The U.S. is currently labeled a high-risk country.

"Anyone traveling to Aruba from a location classified as high-risk will need to complete the PCR testing requirement 2 days prior to departure to Aruba regardless of vaccination status and will not have the option to test upon arrival in Aruba," states a notice on VisitAruba.com . Travelers must also complete an online Embarkation/Disembarkation card and purchase Aruba Visitors Insurance, according to the Aruba Tourism Authority.

Aruba isn't the only Caribbean destination to have its COVID warning level increased. The CDC also placed The Bahamas and Sint Maarten at Level 3, indicating a "high level" of coronavirus transmission on those islands. It warns that unvaccinated travelers "should avoid nonessential travel" to both Sint Maarten and the Bahamas

Other Caribbean islands have revised their own travel entry requirements due to the continued spread of the omicron variant. This includes the U.S. Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, and Barbados.

According to the USVI Department of Tourism, all domestic travelers, regardless of vaccination status, must show proof of a negative COVID-19 antigen or PCR test taken within three days of travel. This abbreviates the previous testing window, which had been five days.

Puerto Rico has also cracked down on entry protocols. All domestic travelers to have a negative COVID-19 rapid or PCR test taken within 48 hours of their arrival, regardless of their vaccination status, according to Discover Puerto Rico. Unvaccinated travelers must now quarantine for seven days upon arrival, whether their test is negative or not. Previously, unvaccinated travelers had no mandatory quarantine. You can find full details about travel requirements to Puerto Rico on the Discover Puerto Rico website .

The Bahamas and Barbados have both revised entry regulations with regards to COVID tests.

Barbados now allows travelers to either show proof of a negative COVID-19 rapid test taken within one day of arrival on the island, or proof of a negative PCR test taken within 3 days of arrival, per information on VisitBarbados.org . Unvaccinated visitors must quarantine at pre-approved accommodations for seven days, and take a PCR test on day five.

The Bahamas will now let vaccinated travelers show either a negative rapid antigen test or an RT-PCR test taken no more than 72 hours prior to arrival. Unvaccinated travelers 12 years and older must continue to present a negative RT-PCR test within three days of arrival. Anyone presenting test results older than 72 hours will be denied entry to the islands.

A rapid antigen test now is required for all travelers staying in the Bahamas longer than 48 hours (two nights), regardless of vaccination status.

If you do not live in an area with a medical center that can quickly process test results, you may want to order an at-home test.  Travel testing advice, read  covid test scheduling tips.

Tests are self administered, under the video supervision of a lab technician to verify your identity and the results. samples are uploaded to a lab via a cassette connected to your wifi network, or via a visual method.
