Bequia's port of entry for St Vincent and the Grenadines, in the 'Bequia Revenue Office' building opposite the ferry dock. Clearing here is straightforward and one of the easiest places to enter or leave SVG.

Practical

Position from the OpenStreetMap 'Bequia Revenue Office' building (approx). Noonsite (clearance page, May 2025): Customs hours Monday-Friday 8:30 am-6:00 pm, closed for lunch 12:00-1:00 pm; Saturday same hours but closed 12:00-3:00 pm; Sundays and holidays 9:00 am-6:00 pm, closed 12:00-3:00 pm. Overtime is charged after 4:00 pm daily and on weekends from Saturday afternoon. Payment is cash only - XCD, USD and euros accepted. Clear in as soon as you arrive: a 2017 cruiser who waited from Saturday evening to Monday was told fines can reach EC$5,000. A 2019 report put customs at about EC$75 (verify locally); SVG also levies a cruise tax (see area notes). There is a second customs office at J F Mitchell Airport, Paget Farm. A 2018 cruiser report said Bequia customs did not use the online pre-arrival system and was cash only; carry printed crew lists.
