St. Maarten Private Eye

You know, you may be right. On SXM you can purchase an NV very easy, skipping the car inspection happens often, to hire illegals is becoming a way of life,and many people don't pay taxes. The person is not mashing our toes, he's right. There is corruption and we all know it, we can see it and smell it.

Althought the immigration can be rude at times, their job is to make sure that the entry rules to the island is followed. Citizens from various countries around the world just think that they should just walk in and leave when they want, because St.Maarten is the friendley island and you may buy a home and start a new job the next day without any regard for the country's regulation- ofcourse most people won't bother to find out until they get in trouble or have to defend their stauts on the island.

We have always been a welcoming little island. So please don't get insulted if we ask you to show a return ticket when you enter. Matter of fact, the airline on which you came should have made that clear.
