Greetings all. I know I will have to submit a pdf of my vax card, but what do they consider the vax card? I have the COVID-19 Vaccination Record Card which has my name, dob, which vax I received and the dates of when I received both vaccinations and I also have the NYS Excelsior Pass - COVID-19 Vaccination card with my name, dob, expiration date & time as well as a QR code in pdf form. Would it be best to submit both? Please help! Thanks in advance.

Submit everything you have.... both side......... yes, do it, stupid simple even if not needed.

Just Complete all of the forms and do what you have to do..... it is not that difficult............ just do it. Then you get approved, duh................. do not make this more difficult than it is.

Be sure that you get your test.............. just because you have the vaccine, does not mean you are allowed entry at this time. Maybe in the future, but not now.

Thank you Eric. Already know about the testing and all. I did a "dummy" EHAS without submitting so that I could see what was asked. Thanks again!

Not sure when you're traveling, but the testing timeframe has been moved up to 72 hours again, effective July.1 mad

Hopefully by the next time you travel, Georgia, they will have implemented the "no testing for fully vaxed" policy.

That sucks, pardon my Dutch and French. I dont see any diff between 3-5 days. Split the difference and make it 4 days and quit fooling with peoples plans. As a group of “vaccinateds” coming, this seems like unnecessary stress/hastle, expense for testing and insurance.

Life here is essentially normal again.

Testing is a lot easier now, just got tested today at local Walgreens, the ID now test, tested at 11:00am results at 11:53 AM, submitted EHAS at 1:51 PM and approval received at 5:18 PM. No charge for tests only expense was the $30 Insurance

Is that test considered for the 120/72 hour or does it have to be within 24 hour.

There is no 24 hour requirement. There is the 48 hour antigen test and that is the type of test she referenced.


Be Happy! Simply because you deserve to be. 😁

Hi Kim, we did the “antigen test” which is accepted within a 48 hour period. Our last leg (MIA to SXM) was at 10:30 AM on Saturday, therefore, we took the “antigen test” on Thursday before at noontime (just in case of delays). Received negative results within 15 minutes. Got back to my office by 12:50 and filled out the EHAS form. Uploaded the PDF and was approved within 10-15 minutes. It’s really easy. Knowing what I know, I’d say, “don’t stress about it” but it’s still very stressful. You’ll be fine. Just follow the instructions. Good luck! smile.

A number of people who are presently on island are saying that the ID Now test is being accepted as a PCR, of which the results are valid for 120 hours (which reverts to 78 hours on July 1st). One gentleman just assured me less than an hour ago that the ID Now test was approved yesterday, 96 hours from departure, and that he has received a separate email verifying that Sint Maarten now accepts the ID Now test. As I said, his was 96 hours before departure.
Such confusion!

The ID NOW test is good for the 120 hour, soon to be 72 hour PCR test
