Three Simple Steps for Safe Travel to Providencialis on Turks and Caicos Islands

If you have already subscribed to our Villa Oasis monthly newsletter, this information may be a bit of a repeat, but it’s clear that many past guests and several potential guests have some questions about safe travel into Grace Bay Beach. Things have certainly changed since our island reopened to public travel on July 22nd! Listed below we want to explain a few simple steps that are now required to successfully fly into our Providenciales airport, just a 10 minute ride from Villa Oasis.

  1. Sign-up with “TCI Assured”: The very first step is to create a free account using the TCI Assured portal. This is where travel staff, health care providers and government officials reference to make certain you and your family have cleared all health concerns. Apply today for your TCI Assured account by clicking here.

  2. Covid Testing: It’s now required that all those traveling to Turks and Caicos Islands (TCI), over the age of 10, receive a PCR Covid-19 test no more than five days before you are set to travel. Our country has established a list of accredited test labs in the USA and other countries. For more details on testing requirements and test labs within the United States, please click here.

  3. Travel Insurance: Our government now requires travel insurance for potential health challenges that may occur while visiting TCI. There are at least 10 different providers for this very affordable insurance coverage, with rates starting at just $10 per day per person. Get further details on TCI travel insurance by visiting this page.

While these are certainly a few extra steps that we never required before the covid crisis, our country has dealt with the global pandemic better than most. Our mission is to reopen our beautiful beaches to tourism again, so long as those visitors haven taken the precautions needed to protect our island residents and other visitors. At Villa Oasis we feel especially prepared as we only allow one group or family to rent our beachfront home at any given time. When you are ready to getaway to your “Island home away from home” just check availability with your ideal dates and we’ll make all the arrangements!
