How to Apply for a Bahamas Health Visa For Your Family

The Bahamas requires all incoming travelers, including children, to possess a Health Visa. The visa is issued digitally and is needed to board your flight. If you're traveling with your family or if you're going on a cruise, Atlys is the only way to apply for a Health Visa for everyone together. Use this tool to determine what type of covid-19 test each family member requires.

Important Update

Several families have reported not getting visas for their kids on time. If you're traveling with kids, we recommend going through Atlys to get everyone's visas on time.

Important Change As of March 07, 2022

Please note all travelers will be required to submit a covid negative test result no more than 3 days prior to travel. All previously approved travel health visas will be honored and accepted.

Bahamas Health Visa Requirements for Family

The COVID-19 requirements for families are as follows:

  • Adults: vaccinated adults are required to get a COVID-19 test as well.
  • Children above 3: need to present a negative COVID-19 test taken three days before the departure.
  • Children below 3: are exempt from all testing requirements but still need a Health Visa.

For children to get a health visa, they have to apply with an adult.
