Travel Insurance For St. Maarten

Is travel insurance required to enter St. Maarten?

To enter St. Maarten, all international travelers must fill out a health pre-authorization application through an Electronic Health Authorization System (EHAS).  In addition, the government of St. Maarten requires international travelers to purchase mandatory COVID-19 insurance as part of the EHAS application.  Without filling out the EHAS application and opting into the COVID-19 insurance, you will not be able to enter St.Maarten.

Why should you buy additional travel insurance to visit St. Maarten?

With St.Maarten requiring all international travelers to obtain the country’s sponsored COVID-19 insurance, we at Trawick International recommend that all travelers should also purchase additional travel insurance.  Our Trip Cancellations plans offer benefits for trip delay and trip interruption and on select plans, we offer the Cancel for Any Reason Benefit.  These additional benefits could provide vital protection if something unforeseen were to happen while traveling to St.Maarten.

Do the trip cancellation plans from Trawick International cover COVID-19?

Yes, our plans treat COVID-19 like any other sickness. To learn more about how Trawick International travel insurance plans provide coverage for Covid-19 related concerns, please visit our COVID-19 FAQ webpage.

Optional Cancel for Any Reason coverage:

On select trip cancellation plans, Trawick International offers the hard to find Cancel for Any Reason (CFAR) benefit that provides reimbursement for 75% of the prepaid, nonrefundable, forfeited payments you paid for your trip if you cancel your trip for any reason not otherwise covered by this policy - like border closures or travel bans.  This coverage MUST be purchased with the initial policy and within 21 days of the initial trip deposit date, and the full, nonrefundable trip cost is insured. (This benefit is not available in every state).

How much does travel insurance cost?

Several factors determine the cost of travel insurance, such as your age, trip cost, length of trip, and other factors.  When purchasing a plan with trip cancellation, we recommend that you include all non-refundable travel expenses so you can recover the investment in the event your trip is canceled or interrupted.  By bundling all of your trip costs into one policy, you will be able to obtain the most coverage possible for your trip. 

When should you buy travel insurance?

To maximize your benefits, you should insure your trip within 21 days of the initial trip deposit date and include all prepaid, nonrefundable trip costs. You can still purchase travel insurance after 21 days, but you may not be eligible for time-sensitive benefits such as CFAR or Financial Default.
