WILLEMSTAD - Travelers to Curaçao who come from a country where the PCR test before departure is mandatory must have this test done no more than 48 hours before departure. This is a new measure that will come into effect on Monday, September 6.

The test results must be uploaded via the government website. With this measure, it becomes important to do the test at a laboratory that guarantees a quick result so that the result is known before departure.

Travelers from the Netherlands and Bonaire to Curacao fall in the orange category, so a high-risk country, and must therefore have a PCR or antigen test. Arubans fall into the red category.
