What happens at the border
1
Arrive at Robert L. Bradshaw International Airport (SKB)
Most flights from Europe land here. After deplaning, follow signs to 'Immigration' — it's a short walk. There's usually one queue for all non-citizens.
2
Present your documents to the immigration officer
Hand over your passport and any supporting documents (return ticket, accommodation). The officer will ask a few questions — typical ones are 'How long are you staying?' and 'Where are you staying?' Answer clearly and confidently.
3
Get your passport stamped
The officer will stamp your passport with the entry date and the allowed stay (usually 90 days). Check the stamp before walking away — make sure the dates are correct.
4
Collect your luggage and proceed to customs
After immigration, head to baggage claim. Customs is straightforward — if you have nothing to declare, walk through the green channel.
