Everything you need to know from touchdown to your transfer — SXM
Complete the SXM Electronic Immigration and Customs form (ED card) online at stmaabordecontrol.com before departure. Most nationalities don't need a visa for short stays. The island is divided between France and the Netherlands — SXM airport is on the Dutch side.
After customs, exit to the arrivals area. Pre-booked drivers wait with name boards. The famous Maho Beach is literally adjacent to the runway — you can walk there in 2 minutes. For French side destinations (Orient Bay, Grand Case), allow 30–35 minutes.
The airport area can be chaotic during peak arrivals with multiple transfer companies, timeshare salespeople, and unofficial drivers. Ignore solicitors and go directly to your pre-booked driver or the official taxi stand. Confirm your fare before departing in any taxi.
Compare prices, read reviews, and reserve your ride in advance for a stress-free arrival.
St. Martin's 37 beaches span both sides of the island — a knowledgeable driver helps you navigate them all.
Grand Case is the culinary capital of the Caribbean — a quick transfer from the airport to the restaurant strip.
Phillipsburg's duty-free shopping is just 15 minutes from the airport.
