Eli5: How do you visit a foreign country not by airplane?

424 views

I’ve flown to foreign countries. You get off the plane, your documents and luggage are checked, and you go on once cleared by customs. What about if I sail in on my boat? Whats the process for going ashore legally?

There will be a customs and immigration building at or close to the dock. You need to report there with your papers etc. after arriving.

If it’s a major port it will be one of the buildings on site; elsewhere it might be a street or two away (one of the beaches in Costa Rica doesn’t really have a dock but there’s a Customs and Immigration building a few minutes walk away).
