COVID PROTOCOLS
Stay up to date with the latest protocols by visiting www.stmaartenehas.com/travel-requirements. We encourage you to shop, dine, and explore responsibly; and always follow the established protocols while traveling.
To ensure the safety and well-being of visitors, the St. Maarten Tourism Bureau, St. Maarten Hospitality & Trade Association (SHTA), and occupational health expert company, Medwork, have launched SafeSeal, which serves as a visual recognition of a company’s commitment to the health and safety of its customers and employees. Specialized checklists have been created for businesses, lodging, retail establishments, restaurants, casinos, and various other lines of businesses. They must meet certain criteria to become certified as a SafeSeal Gold or Platinum Standard. Visit www.shta.com/safeseal for more information.
CURRENCY/CREDIT CARDS
Although US dollars are accepted almost everywhere on both sides, the two official currencies are the euro on the French side and the Netherlands Antillean guilder (called NAf or florin) on the Dutch side. You can change money at banks and change points, like MoneyGram or Western Union; but be aware many places do not accept traveler’s checks, checks from foreign banks, or American Express. Most establishments will accept other major credit cards.
CUSTOMS/DUTY
Although many tourist destinations claim to be dutyfree, St. Maarten/St. Martin is the only destination in the West Indies that can truly claim a tax-free status; and there are no particular customs procedures. Products for personal use (tobacco, cameras, and video cameras) are permitted in small quantities without being subject to specific procedures or taxes.
Tips at restaurants are generally not included in the final bill but are welcome for good service. Tipping ranges from 10 to 20 percent, depending on the quality of service.
HEALTH
Vaccinations are not required when entering. St. Maarten/St. Martin tap water is safe to drink, but bottled water is recommended. High-SPF sunscreen is essential and recommended for those not used to intense sunlight. A good pair of sunglasses and a hat are strongly recommended. Protect yourself from mosquitoes by using nets, wearing long clothing, and using insect repellent.

LANGUAGES
St. Maarten/St. Martin is a melting pot with over 100 different nationalities. On the French side, French is spoken in government departments and schools. On the Dutch side, Dutch is used in government departments and some schools; but English is widely spoken everywhere. Spanish, Creole, and Papiamento are also widely spoken on both sides.
NATURE
Both sides have a variety of nature parks, protected beaches, and waters. Environmental protection and the development of commercial activities work together; dive clubs and tour companies offer excursions in the protected waters of the Réserve Naturelle (French side). All partners are committed to respecting the environment, defending environmental regulations, and educating about all the natural heritage sites. Some of these protected sites are The Tiki Hut and Seaside Nature Park, Pinel Island, Tintamarre, Orient Bay, and Creole Rock. Sea turtles are protected animals on the island, and the St. Maarten Nature Foundation Sea Turtle Watch Group has initiatives for their conservation. Both governments may forbid certain activities in certain areas (such as hiking, motorized transportation, and anchorage).
PETS
You may bring pets to the island, but first consult your hotel or host to ensure your pet is welcome. Animals are temporarily admitted with a health certificate dated no more than 10 days before visit and a record of inoculations, including a rabies shot administered no more than 30 days before travel. On the French side, small dogs on a leash are welcome in most places but are not allowed on beaches.
POPULATION
Approximately 43,000 people live on St. Maarten and 39,000 on St. Martin, for a combined total of 82,000.
RELIGION
St. Maarten/St. Martin is a peaceful mix of Roman Catholic, Jewish, Muslim, Baptist, Anglican, Methodist, Jehovah’s Witness, Seventh-day Adventist, Rastafarian, and Hindu communities. Due to widespread immigration and the multiethnic culture of the island, many religious communities coexist side by side. Religion plays an important role in daily life, so it’s important to respect everyone.
SAFETY
Travelers are always advised to take safety precautions. It is discouraged to walk alone in quiet or deserted streets, especially at night. Only marked taxis booked through a reputable service should be used. Valuables should be locked in your hotel’s safe. Do not leave handbags or other valuables unattended in cars or on beaches. Although all 37 beaches are public, keep in mind there are no lifeguards present. It is ideal to use credit cards and not carry large amounts of cash.

WATER
St. Maarten/St. Martin does not have a freshwater source; tap water comes exclusively from the desalination plant. Water has become very expensive and should be used sparingly for the sake of the environment. Spring and mineral water are available for purchase everywhere.
