Upon arriving in The Islands of The Bahamas, non-residents only must fill out and sign an immigration form. After processing, a portion of the form is returned to the visitor. At the time of departure from The Bahamas, that portion of the immigration form should be given to the airline agent at the check-in counter.

An oral baggage declaration is required if the visitor has only their used personal belongings.  If they are carrying other items they would have to complete a baggage declaration (C17) form and declare the items.   All returning residents are required to complete a baggage declaration (C17) form whether they have items to declare or not.
