What Is the Bonaire, St Eustatius and Saba Health Declaration Form?

The Bonaire, St Eustatius and Saba Health Declaration Form is the pre-arrival health declaration used by authorities in the Caribbean Netherlands to record traveller health and contact details prior to entry. Local public authorities and island administrations use the declaration to help manage public-health checks and to verify vaccination or travel history when required. Many elements of the form are administered locally through island government portals and immigration checkpoints.

Applications are completed online via official island government pages such as the local ID & health pages and related entry portals, or through DoVisa for guided completion and quality checks. After you submit the form you receive an electronic confirmation — typically an emailed PDF or QR code — which you should save offline and present to your airline at departure check-in and to immigration on arrival at Flamingo International Airport (BON) or other island ports.

This document is a health declaration rather than a visa: it records health, vaccination and contact information required for safe entry and may be referenced by customs, public‑health and immigration officers. It does not replace a visa or entry permit where those are required. Recent guidance from local and UK travel pages emphasises yellow fever certification when arriving from risk countries; check the official island portals for the latest health rules before you travel.

For full entry rules see Bonaire, St Eustatius and Saba visa information and the local government health pages such as bonairegov.com ID & Health declaration. When you're ready, Apply for your Bonaire, St Eustatius and Saba Health Declaration Form now.
