The Bahamas Pilots New Digital Arrivals Card

The Bahamas is piloting a new digital arrival system for international visitors. The Bahamas Digital Arrival Card (BDAC) is the first step the Bahamas Ministry of Tourism is taking towards introducing a fully digital arrival process. 

Currently being tested on select flights, the system allows travellers to complete immigration and customs documentation online prior to arrival, reducing reliance on traditional paper forms and helping streamline the airport experience. The initiative is designed to support a more seamless and effortless arrival process once fully implemented.

“This pilot reflects years of deliberate planning and collaboration across the government,” said Latia Duncombe, Director General of The Bahamas Ministry of Tourism, Investments & Aviation. “Our goal is to ensure that this platform enhances the visitor journey from the very first touchpoint.”

The rollout comes as The Bahamas continues to see strong tourism momentum, welcoming nearly 12.5 million international visitors in 2025, the highest figure in the destination’s history.
