What happens at the border
1
Arrival at Grantley Adams International Airport (BGI)
After landing, follow signs to 'Immigration'. Join the queue for non-CARICOM visitors. Have your passport and return ticket ready. The officer will stamp your passport with a 90-day entry. The process usually takes 5-15 minutes.
2
Prepare documents before the queue
While waiting, have your passport open to the photo page and your return ticket visible on your phone. This speeds things up and looks prepared.
3
After immigration — baggage claim and customs
Collect your luggage, then proceed to customs. If you have nothing to declare, use the green channel. If you're carrying more than $10,000 USD or restricted goods, use the red channel.
