This page contains important information for guests travelling through Barbados on their way to and from Mustique.

Guests have two options before you start this process. You can complete these forms yourself for all members of your travelling party, in which case you should download this Cheat Sheet to guide you through. Or you can make use of our Concierge Travel Service and one of our team will take care of everything for you.

Pre-Travel

Before you set off for Mustique you need to do the following:

• Book a Covid-19 PCR test at an accredited/certified laboratory within 3 days/72 hours of your date of departure – please note Barbados does not accept self administered home tests.
• Once you have your negative test result, print two copies of your certificate. You will need to travel with these.
• N.B Children under five do not need to be tested.
• Within 3 days of your departure you will need to complete:
  • the Barbados Pre-Arrival Registration Form
  • the Barbados Quarantine / Monitoring form (for passengers overnighting in Barbados)
  • the Barbados Passenger Arrival form (for all in-transit passengers)
  • the Vincy Pre-Arrival Travel Form
• Print a copy of each of these and travel with them.
• Please email pcrresults@mustique.vc a copy of the negative PCR test, the Barbados Pre-Arrival Registration Confirmation Email and the Vincy Pre-Arrival Travel Form 24 hours prior to travel so we can arrange for pre-clearance into the country.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

• When completing the Vincy Pre-Arrival form there is a glitch in the system that changes you answer from ‘Yes’ to ‘No’ when asked if you are in possession of a negative covid test. The authorities are aware of such issue and it would not affect your travels.

Your journey

• Surgical masks are mandatory in all local airports and on the flights to and from Mustique, for all passengers 2 years old and older.
• When you land in Barbados, you will need to clear both the Covid temperature checks and Customs, before awaiting your transfer to Mustique.

Arrival on Mustique

• Upon disembarkation in Mustique, anyone aged 5 or over will have a Rapid Antigen test performed at the Airport by a medic – you will get your result immediately. Once this is completed and you receive your NEGATIVE result you can travel up to your residence. The cost for this Rapid Antigen test is USD 30 per person.
• If you are fully vaccinated, and supplied your proof of vaccination, then you may travel freely around the island and enjoy your stay.
• If you are unvaccinated, you must proceed straight to your accommodation where you must isolate for 5 days. During this period you must not interact outside of your own bubble. You may NOT go to any social gatherings, public bars, Basil’s or the shops in Lovell Village. You must NOT invite anyone into your bubble for social reasons.
• Following the end of quarantine on Day 5, unvaccinated persons are required to take a further rapid antigen test. Testing will occur daily at the Medical Centre for one hour between 10 and 11am. On producing a negative result, quarantine will end.
• Children under the age of 18 years are to follow the protocol that applies to their parents or guardian.
• In the unlikely event that you receive a positive PCR result while on island you will need to isolate in your villa at your own cost until a negative PCR is obtained.

Onward travel

Travel Restrictions are still in place across the globe, so the first point of reference for any traveller is to check the restrictions where you are travelling onto. There may well be protocols that all guests need to adhere to and the Mustique Company bears no responsibility for these protocols.

• In the USA, please check the latest State Department advice as well as any local state restrictions that may be in place, you will also need to complete Passenger Disclosure and Attestation to the United States Form before you travel.
• In the UK please read the latest FCO advice and you will also need to complete passenger locator form before you travel.

NB – The Barbados Ministry of Health and Wellness reserves the right to require testing/retesting of any traveler regardless of documentation presented or any other requirement, obligation or condition associated with their assigned risk category.
