TravelTalkOnline Forums Travel and Vacation Forums St. Maarten - St. Martin EHAS: How many days before arrival.

We arrive Sat Jan 22. When is the earliest I can submit EHAS form? I could not find information. We are fully vaxxed and boosted. I may be confused because in June I had to submit negative test results no older than 3 days. Since no test results required this time , is there an outside time limit for EHAS form?

It's three days, still.

Leaving Saturday..submit wed or thurs?

72 hours

Three days, not 72 hours.

SUBMIT WEDNESDAY

72 hours before last connecting flight.

But any testing required has to be within 48 hours.

He’s vaxxed and boosted.

We leave in two weeks. I looked at the EHAS (and the travel info & FAQ pages) and did not see any timeframe posted for filling out and submitting the form. We are all boosted and no testing required.

That is one thing that's not on there, I don't think. But many people have reported trying to file before 3 days, and have gotten an error message from EHAS, stating the form needs to be submitted only 3 days in advance.

Thanks.. just another bizarre unwritten rule I have run into... French Polynesian is much worse in terms of having multiple agencies/rules involved.

what is an EHAS form? where do we get it?

One needs to fill out the form before one travels to SXM.



On the forum list, read the requirements in the top post.

The glitch is in the EHAS form. When you enter date of arrival it must be within the 3 day window. I will try Wednesday for Sat arrival.

Wednesday will work

Hi Bluesfan, we will be on the same plane as you on Saturday. We plan on filling out our paperwork on Wednesday around 4:00. My friend left 2 weeks ago on a saturday and she sent it out on Wednesday evening and it worked great. Did jetblue send you an email? We received one today, Again the timing of the EHAS form is lacking, it's so difficult when they talk around you and not specific.. I get ya .. Good Luck and we'll see you in Logan brite and early saturday morning.

We are flying American out of PVD. CLT to SXM. Friend told me JB requires Negative test to board plane. He is going to PR. Might be different for SXM.

That's what I get for assuming. I double checked with my friend and she said she submitted the form on wednesday and she heard back within 5 minutes . She said both her and her husband each filled out the forms using their own email. Hope that helps

Negative test required in country not out of country until the return home.

That's what I thought. Maybe JB started this requirement.

We arrive on Wednesday, Feb 2nd. Looks like I should be sending the EHAS form in on Sunday. Do they work on Sunday? Sorry if this has already been asked. Just nervous about doing everything right. Thank you in advance for your help.

Sunday is the correct Day if you are fully vaccinated and have your booster(meaning you don't require a test). They do work on Sundays and there are even people that will respond in the middle of the night or very early morning.

Thank you, bdeeley!

Take care, safe travels and have a wonderful vacation!

I'm still not sure what an EHAS form is and where to get it. Can you fill me in?

You fill it out via the EHAS site. Look at first post on this forum for the link.

Has anyone double vaxxed and boosted been asked at airport for negative covid test? I am concerned American may not be aware of this item. In June3, despite EHAS approval, they still insisted on test results.

Back then a test was required for entry and now if you are fully vaccinated with a booster you don't need a test. Along with your EHAS approval show them documentation of vaccination complete with booster.

That was because the double vaxed and boosted weren't exempt from testing back then. Now they are.

Correct....only issue with us was that we could not get "Approved for travel" status from United nor could we check in the day before. We used the kiosks at BOS and an agent confirmed out vax status with no issues. Website would not accept a vax document...only test results but it was not an issue at all

I( know the requirement. I am just concerned with uninformed airline personnel. From prior experience.

You are making this harder than it has to be, and worrying yourself unnecessarily. Have a copy of your EHAS approval, Your vaccination card with both shots and the booster, and print out the page from travel requirements on EHAS site that shows no test needed. If you do that and have it with you than you will be fine.

Print out the screen shot below to go with your printouts of your vaccination proof and your EHAS approval.

My comment included the informed airline personnel...the website was the uninformed part

We are off to St Martin.....we sent ours in around 2;00.Paul got his back quick and mine 2 hours later. Talk about nail biting. I printed 2 copies . My friend said a girl missed her plane because her phone died and she couldn't show her letter....Gotta cover all bases . I hope ya'll got yours
