What happens at the border
1
Arrive at Robert L. Bradshaw International Airport (SKB)
You'll land at the main airport in Basseterre. Follow signs to 'Immigration' — it's a single queue for all non-citizens. Have your passport, return ticket, and accommodation details ready.
2
Present your documents to the immigration officer
Hand over your passport and any requested documents. The officer will check your passport validity, stamp you in, and may ask about your stay length and accommodation. Answer clearly and briefly.
3
Collect your luggage and proceed to customs
After immigration, head to baggage claim, then walk through customs. If you have nothing to declare, use the green channel. Keep your passport handy — you may need to show it again.

Exit the airport
Once through customs, you're free to leave. Taxis and rental car counters are just outside the arrivals hall. If you booked a transfer, look for a driver holding a sign with your name.
