Travelers who hold an approved COVID-19 vaccination certificate or who have documentation confirming they recovered from COVID-19 in the last six months will not be required to undergo quarantine and entrance testing requirements. Travelers who cannot present proof of an approved COVID-19 vaccination certificate will be required to:
- Complete an entry registration form;
- Present a negative PCR test taken 24 hours before travel;
- Test at the border upon arrival; and
- Quarantine in a quarantine hotel
