Carry a copy of your passport bio page separately. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Required | Immigration officers at Maurice Bishop International Airport routinely ask for proof of onward travel. Have a printed or digital copy of your return flight or a ticket to your next destination ready. Without it, you may be denied boarding or entry. | Required |
