The same legal requirements as any other international arrival, handled in a different place. Passengers are normally cleared at a business aviation terminal, planeside or in a small lounge, and documentation is filed ahead of arrival. It is usually much faster, and it is not lighter-touch.
Passenger and crew details are submitted to the authorities in advance by the operator or handling agent. On arrival the aircraft is met, and officers either come to the aircraft or process passengers in a dedicated facility. For a private arrival this commonly takes minutes rather than the time a scheduled arrival takes.
Speed and privacy, mostly. You are not queueing, the walk from aircraft to car is short, and processing is handled for a handful of people rather than a planeload. Not every airport offers clearance at the business terminal, and at some you will be taken to the main facility, which is worth knowing before you plan the day around it.
Full passenger names exactly as they appear in passports, passport numbers and expiry dates, and any visas required. These are needed well before departure for permits and advance passenger information. Late or incorrect details are the most common avoidable cause of delay on a cross-border charter.
There is screening appropriate to private aviation, and it is normally far quicker and less intrusive than a scheduled terminal. It is handled at the business aviation facility rather than the main security hall.
Yes. Visa and entry requirements are identical regardless of how you arrive. This is the most common cause of avoidable disruption on cross-border private flights.
Typically a short time before departure rather than hours, because there is no queueing and check-in is not a separate process. Your operator will give a figure for the specific airport, and it is usually measured in minutes.
Send the route, the date and the number of passengers. We check operators with aircraft near either end and come back with named options and a price.
