(UPDATE)
Two nationals of the Dominican Republic, who left Trinidad via a Caribbean Airlines flight, were arrested in St Maarten for travelling on fake documents.
According to a report from The Daily Herald, the man and woman arrived at the Princess Juliana International Airport on Saturday using a fake Costa Rican and Guatemalan passport.
The report said officials suspected the couple intended to travel to another destination even though they did not have tickets for another location.
Twenty-four hours earlier, another Dominican was arrested for attempting to leave the island for France on a fake Guatemalan passport.
They were processed and are scheduled to be deported this week

What the article didn’t say is which country passport the traveler used. Can’t just assume it was a fake Antigua & Barbuda passport.
If you read the article properly, it clearly said fake Guatemalan and fake Costa rican. JEEZ!
The original article didn’t have all that information. It’s since been updated.
Well Well
Choopz.. Anybady surprise? Antigua passports have been making in Jamaica and other places long time… Check ppl who go Canada on Antigua passport without ever setting foot here..
When a man travels from a country with a false document to another country it means that the country he originated from is a cartoon country!
How come the fake passport was not detected in Antigua by travel agent and immigration if he did infact travelled from Antigua?
Antigua’s Immigration top priority is customer service not security.
The Minister made it pellucid in his budget presentation what the priorities of Immigration should be, Customer service. customer service, customer service, not security.
Profiling is a thing of the past smile and nod….
If it was an Antiguan guess what they would have detected tbe game pp. Why? Cause we don’t like our own!
Watta ting! We like to undermine our own.
I am in total agreement.
If it was said that the Immigration priority is Customer Service and not Security well that is too bad. Why go through one’s passport when going through the immigration, is it not to make sure everything is correct, well if that is the case, fake passports will always slip through and Antigua/Barbuda will look like a loose country. Immigration is a FASHION-MODEL zone and customer service is very poor.
