Documents Needed to Clear Bahamas Customs and Immigration

Here’s a short checklist of the documents you will need to have ready.

Copies of the current vessel registration or USCG Certificate

Just as important, make sure all your registrations are current for any vessels clearing, this includes jet skis and dinghies. Ultimately, this will give us all the information needed to clear your vessels.

Equally important, all passengers must physically carry a current US Passport.

Additionally, for non US citizens, you will need your passport of citizenship and your permanent resident card.

Currently, all travelers need a Covid-19 PCR negative result test within 5 days of your arrival date.

Additionally, you will also need a Bahamas Travel Health Visa for each passenger along with your negative test result. Another tip, make sure to print both and bring them with you.

* For anyone meeting you but traveling by air, they will have to take a second test before leaving the islands to comply with US requirements.
