How to Pay Anguilla Departure Tax
Make the terminal process easier by preparing your payment method and keeping documents together.
Carry USD cash
USD cash is useful at ferry terminals, especially if a card machine is unavailable, slow, or temporarily offline.
Bring a card backup
Major cards may be accepted in many travel situations, but do not rely on only one payment method.
Keep your receipt
Keep your ferry ticket and tax receipt together until you clear boarding, security, and immigration.
Confirm before travel
Taxes and fees can change. Recheck rates before your travel day, especially during holiday periods or route changes.
Best move: Bring your passport, ferry ticket, USD cash, a card backup, and keep all receipts until you are fully boarded.

Common Departure Tax Questions
Quick answers for ferry passengers and travelers budgeting their Anguilla exit fees.
Is Anguilla departure tax included in the ferry ticket?
Not always. Treat departure tax as a separate fee unless your operator or ticket clearly states that it is included.
When do I pay departure tax?
For ferry departures, travelers usually handle the payment or confirmation process at the terminal before leaving Anguilla.

Yes, children can have different totals by age and destination side. French Side non-resident children 2-4 pay US $3 while children 5-11 pay US $15; Dutch Side child totals also include the Tourist Board Levy.
Should I bring cash or card?
Bring both if possible. USD cash is a useful backup even if card payments are available.
Is the departure tax the same for ferry and airport departures?
Not always. Ferry and airport taxes can be handled differently, and air ticket fees may already include some taxes. Check your ticket or airline details.
