Immigration officers at Douglas-Charles Airport routinely ask for a return or onward ticket. Have a printed or digital copy of your flight booking ready.Recommended

Show you can support yourself during your stay
Be ready to show cash, credit cards, or bank statements if asked. There is no fixed minimum amount, but around $100 USD per day is a safe benchmark.Recommended
