I don't know if this has been posted before so sorry if it is a dupe. With all the concern with testing times in the US right now worth noting that the BinaxNow proctored test is OK for entry to SXM. We had already purchased these for our return to the US so nice to know we can use them for entry as well. http://www.sintmaartengov.org/Press...COVID-19-Ag-Card-rapid-antigen-test.aspx

Thanks for noting the date but I can't find anywhere that they've stated that they are no longer accepting these tests, and it is an FDA approved antigen test.

This was discussed previously and some have used them succesfully for entry BUT if you read the testing requirements it's pretty clear about them NOT being acceptable rt-PCR and antigen test sample for the SARS-COV-2 virus must be obtained from naso-pharyngeal swab in adolescents and adults. An oro-pharygeal swab is accepted in case of children.
Results from home covid-19 collection test kits will also not be accepted. Airlines might require you to show a negative lab test result.
The original test resultto be uploaded as part of EHAS application procedure must clearly specify the name of the laboratory or clinic, full name of test subject, type of test administered, name of antigen test, sample date, source of the swab, result date and a negative result. Non-compliant test results, hand written or e-mail statements from doctors will not be accepted.

We used them both ways in October. No problems at all!
