St. Maarten Is Not on the U.S. Travel Ban List: What You Need to Know

Let’s Clear This Up: St. Maarten Is Open to U.S. Travelers

 

Lately, you may have heard whispers—or flat-out panic—about a new U.S. travel ban affecting trips to the Caribbean, especially St. Maarten. Let’s get one thing straight: St. Maarten is not on the U.S. travel ban list. Not now, not when the new restrictions took effect in June 2025.

Ultimate Soul Escape (USE) is here to bring clarity, not chaos. Let’s break this all the way down.

What the June 2025 U.S. Travel Ban Actually Covers

The June 2025 travel restrictions signed by President Trump affected 12 countries under a full ban and 7 others with specific visa limitations. These included countries like Iran, Sudan, Haiti, Afghanistan, and Myanmar. The reasons? National security flags, visa overstay rates, and diplomatic breakdowns.

But let’s be clear—St. Maarten isn’t anywhere on that list.

Why People Thought the Caribbean Was Affected

A misleading video went viral and got people stirred up. It falsely claimed that flights between the U.S. and several Caribbean islands were suspended. St. Maarten’s government shut it down quickly.

What Actually Happened to Some Travelers

Some travelers—especially in The Bahamas—ran into trouble, but not because of a ban. In most cases, they were:

  • Carrying undeclared weapons or bullets
  • Coming from banned countries and transiting through the Caribbean
  • Caught up in heightened airport screening

These were isolated issues—not part of a general travel ban. If you’re a U.S. citizen with a valid passport, you’re cleared to go to St. Maarten with no problem.
