We are arriving in SXM on December 3rd and many here have suggested preregistration to ease the entry process. Anyone know of a link to the official website to preregister?
Thanks in advance for any help,
Bryan

Wow, I'm glad I saw this. This must be something new. Who needs to fill this registration out?
After looking, I see I need to fill one out. This forum is very informational for sure. I would never have know I had to do this if I hadn't seen someones post.
How far in advance do most of you fill it out? Thanks.

Thanks timnbob for the link to the SXM Entry Form. We were able to get the form filled out but, took some time. We got an email saying everything is accepted so we will see how things go when we arrive in SXM next week. Cheers!

One thing I noticed while waiting in line was that the helper pressed the passport down so that it was completely flat on the scanner. That solved the problem that I saw many people having. We did that with ours, and they were immediately accepted.

Yes. It seems the scanners are having issues reading the passports unless pressed down hard. But I also noticed the flatbeds are filthy and should be cleaned. Maybe that would help. Wish they had a line for those that filled it out online and one for those that didn’t. Lines would move quicker.

Quick question on the entry form. I'm having a brain fart on this one and what they really mean.
Do I (we) have any monetary instruments or transporting currency equal to or greater than NaF 20,000 or USD 10,000, or foreign equivalent, in any form?
What do they really mean with this?? I just can't seem to wrap my head around it. I think I know, but then, I question my thinking. Anyone? Thanks.

Unless you're taking 10,000 ot more in cash your answer is no.

No, I don't take $10,000 in cash, I take $50,000. Is that okay??? LOL
That's what I thought it meant but I then questioned myself on that. Well, I don't have to go back into the form and change anything.
Thanks.
17 days until we arrive in Sint Maarten.

As long as you declare your 50 000 go right ahead and take it. Island can use it. 😂👌
