Charles airports routinely ask for a return or onward ticket within the 90-day visa-free period.

What happens at the border
1
Arrive at Hewanorra or George F. L. Charles Airport
Most flights land at Hewanorra International Airport (UVF) near Vieux Fort. After deplaning, follow signs to Immigration. There's usually one queue for all non-citizens. Have your passport and return ticket ready.
2
Present documents at immigration counter
Hand over your passport. The officer may ask: purpose of visit, where you're staying, and when you leave. Answer clearly. They'll stamp you in — usually for 90 days.
3
Collect luggage and pass customs
After immigration, head to baggage claim. Customs is usually a green channel for most tourists. If you have nothing to declare, walk straight through.
