International arrivals can be confusing if you don’t know what to expect. Whether you're traveling for business, vacation, or a group event, being prepared at the airport makes all the difference. Here's what to do step-by-step once your flight touches down.


Airport Arrival Process – What to Do After You Land


Step 1: Deplaning


As the aircraft doors open, follow the signs toward Arrivals or Immigration. 

  • Passport

  • Visa (if applicable)

  • Completed arrival form


Step 2: Immigration Clearance


An immigration officer will verify your travel documents and may ask a few questions about your visit. 

Be prepared to:

  • Show your return ticket and accommodation proof

  • Answer clearly and respectfully

  • Get your passport stamped for entry


Step 3: Baggage Claim


Head to the baggage area and find your flight number on display screens.

  • Wait at the correct carousel

  • Double-check baggage tags to avoid confusion


Step 4: Customs Check


You’ll either walk through the Red Channel (if you have goods to declare) or the Green Channel (if you don’t). 

Remember to:

  • Know your destination’s customs rules

  • Avoid restricted or excess currency items


Step 5: Arrival Hall & Transport


After customs, you’ll enter the public arrival lobby. Options include:
