Guide
Barbados wants its immigration and customs form completed online. The Online Immigration and Customs Form becomes available 72 hours before your arrival, at travelform.gov.bb, and once it is done you save the receipts to your phone or print them and show them to immigration and customs on arrival. Barbados allows visa free entry for stays under 180 days for most nationalities, including US citizens, and every traveler, children included, needs a valid passport, and a return ticket or proof of onward travel.
At Grantley Adams International Airport, guides say you show your passport and the form receipts at immigration. Older guides sometimes call the form an ED card, but the current system is the online form.
Border crossings
- An island, so the airport is the border
Barbados has no land border. Almost every arrival is by air, and the form receipts are what officers look for.
- Grantley Adams, the international airport
Where visitors present their passports and the online form receipts to immigration.
Transit routes
- Wait for the 72 hour window
The form is only available 72 hours before arrival, so it cannot be filled in weeks ahead.
- Save the receipts
Keep them on your phone or print them, since both immigration and customs ask for them.
Entry point notes
- Return ticket or proof of onward travel
Guides list this as a requirement for confirming that you intend to leave on the stated date.
- Passport valid at entry
Every traveler needs one, and children are not exempt.
