Passport validity is strictly enforced
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the date you arrive. Airlines check this before boarding, and immigration checks it on arrival. No exceptions.
No visa needed, but documents are still checked
Even though you don't need a visa, immigration will still ask for your return ticket and accommodation proof. Have them ready to avoid delays.
What happens at the border
1
Prepare your documents before departure
Check your passport validity (6+ months from arrival). Print or save digital copies of your return ticket, first night hotel booking, and travel insurance. Download a local eSIM if you want data immediately on landing.
2
Arrive at Argyle International Airport (SVD)
After landing, follow signs to 'Immigration' in the arrivals hall. Join the queue for 'Non-Citizens' or 'Foreign Passports'. Have your passport, return ticket, and accommodation confirmation ready.
3
Present documents to immigration officer
Hand over your passport and any requested documents. The officer will check your passport validity, stamp you in, and note your allowed stay (usually 90 days). Answer any questions clearly — purpose of visit, where you're staying, when you leave.
4
Collect luggage and proceed to customs
After immigration, collect your bags from the carousel. Walk through the 'Nothing to Declare' channel if you have no restricted items. If you're carrying large amounts of cash or restricted goods, use the 'Goods to Declare' channel.

Once through customs, you're free to exit the arrivals hall. Taxis are available outside. Have your hotel address ready for the driver.
