Yes, Nate and I traveled there in December and the process was smooth sailing. The local islanders in Turks and Caicos are very nice, tourism is their main form of income so they are very happy to have tourism ramping up again. Masks are required but it’s pretty lax. They do ask you to wear them in enclosed spaces but at the beach and outside it’s not required.
This is a loaded question. Traveling to TCI you will need a mask. You are required to wear a mask on the island inside and in enclosed spaces. Once you are at the property you will not be required to wear a mask. If you feel more comfortable wearing a mask, we totally understand and you are more than welcome to do so!
YES! Travel insurance is mandatory for arrival to the Turks and Caicos Islands. Your current insurance might cover you but you need to verify that they cover covid-19 related illnesses. If you do not have travel insurance, you may purchase one from the suggested TCI Assured insurance companies below: Travelex, Seven Corners, TripMate, Aura, HTH World Wide, Allianz Global Assistance, Generali Global Insurance (***this is who we use***), Global Rescue, HDI Global, Travel Guard, Travel Insured International, Trawick, Arch RoamRight,
In accordance with international travel requirements all persons returning to the US, Canada, and UK must have a COVID test result completed for pre-arrival.

Therefore, please be mindful of the quarantine and other coverage provided by your insurance policy as a requirement to travel to the Turks and Caicos Islands and amend as needed to ensure adequate coverage.
