In addition to eliminating the obligatory Bahamas Travel Health Visa, the Government of The Bahamas has introduced that totally vaccinated travellers will now not be required to undergo pre-travel COVID-19 testing to enter the nation. 

All unvaccinated travellers aged 2 and older shall be required to acquire a adverse COVID-19 check — both a adverse RT-PCR check or a Rapid Antigen check — taken not more than three days (72 hours) previous to journey and current the adverse check outcomes at check-in earlier than journey to The Bahamas. 

Changes go into impact at 12:01 a.m. on Sunday, 19 June 2022. 

“The Bahamas is adapting to the continued evolution of this pandemic. We want to streamline the entry process for travellers as much as possible, all while ensuring we are protecting public health,” stated the Honourable I. Chester Cooper, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Tourism, Investments & Aviation. “We hope the changes to the pre-travel testing requirements combined with the elimination of the Travel Health Visa will reduce friction for travellers and further the recovery of our tourism sector.”
