The QR code is sent to the traveler again, via email one day prior to their flight departure. With the revised requirements, travelers are issued a QR code once their trip information is submitted to the Safe Travels website. Previously the state required the questionnaire be submitted before issuing a QR code that could reduce processing time upon arrival. Effective January 4 th, Hawaii no longer requires tourists to complete a health questionnaire prior to boarding their flight to the islands.
