Cool.

If you have the form already filled out on the plane before you exit..do you really save any more time as they only take about 30 seconds to look it over and sign off at customs?

You fill out the online forms from home before you leave.

I know you fill out the form ahead of time but won't they have to pull it up on the computer and look at it? Could be faster but could also take more time.............

I also don't see how this is suppose to save time in the immigration hall. My guess is this is more about data collection and data mining. If they want to save time with immigration processing, they could add more kiosks and use the ones they have now. Last month when we arrived with several other planes, they actually stopped letting people use the kiosks as the hall filled up. I guess they want people to keep spending $50 each for the Club Mobay meet and greet.

I always complete my form on the airplane prior to landing, so I just hand it over as needed. (I also use CMB, so the rep looks it over for me to ensure all is in order.) I don't see how this will save time? Are there countries or airlines that don't provide the forms to their customers? I've heard of flights running out of forms before on a rare occasion, but this doesn't seem like much of a time saver for the average traveler - typically those of us with nothing to declare.

Coming from Canada we are always given the form on the plane. Forms seem to change every year.

Yes you are saving time...while you are in the middle of drinking a cocktail or watching a movie etc. you dont have to stop what your doing to fill out the form because it's done already...time saved! 😁
Also, they are following suit with the other Islands (D.R, MX & Aruba) that does this and I think it's a great idea! IMO.

Just think of all the things you could have been doing when you filled out the form online.
