Quick Summary

In October 2024, Sint Maarten will implement a new digital entry form, coinciding with the opening of Princess Juliana International Airport's new arrivals terminal. The form, created with Immigration and Border Protection Services and the Tourism Bureau, will be mandatory for all travelers, including residents, transit passengers, and overnight crew. It must be completed online within seven days of travel, and proof of completion will be required at check-in. 

The form can be accessed at www.entry.sx. This requirement applies to both Dutch and French residents.

The introduction of the new digital entry form in Sint Maarten will bring numerous benefits to both the government and travelers. One of the key advantages is the efficiency and convenience it offers. By allowing travelers to complete the form online up to seven days prior to travel, it simplifies the process and reduces paperwork at the airport. Passengers will spend less time filling out forms upon arrival, leading to smoother and faster immigration procedures, improving the overall experience at Princess Juliana International Airport (SXM).

As tourism to St. Maarten is on the rise, this system will allow the Sint Maarten government to track tourism trends more effectively. With real-time data on arrivals, the government can better understand traveler demographics, lengths of stay, and spending patterns. This data is invaluable for developing tourism strategies, improving services, and making informed decisions about infrastructure development.

Countries like the Bahamas, Canada, and Aruba have already implemented similar digital entry systems with great success. These systems not only help streamline airport processes but also enhance national security by allowing governments to pre-screen visitors. Digital forms make it easier to flag any potential risks in advance, leading to a safer environment for both residents and tourists.

Furthermore, the data gathered from the digital entry forms can help Sint Maarten assess the economic impact of tourism more accurately. The government will be able to identify high and low seasons, track repeat visitors, and even tailor marketing campaigns to attract more tourists during slower periods. This strategic use of tourism data can boost the island’s economy by fostering growth in the tourism sector while ensuring the island’s resources are managed sustainably.
