What happens at the border
1
Arrival at Robert L. Bradshaw International Airport (SKB)
After landing, follow signs to the immigration hall. Join the 'Visitors' queue. Have your passport, return ticket (screenshot or print), and accommodation confirmation ready. The officer will check your passport validity, stamp you in, and hand it back. The process usually takes 5–10 minutes per person.
2
Present documents and answer questions
Hand over your passport and any requested documents. The officer may ask: 'How long are you staying?' and 'Where are you staying?' Answer clearly. If you have a return ticket, show it. You'll get an entry stamp valid for up to 90 days.
3
Collect luggage and exit
After clearing immigration, head to baggage claim, then customs. There's usually no customs declaration form for personal items. Walk through the green channel if you have nothing to declare.

No, there's no official requirement to show bank statements or cash. However, if immigration suspects you can't support yourself during your stay, they might ask. Having a credit card or a few hundred dollars in cash is a good safety net.
