Features & Capabilities

Exempt is a travel app that simplifies Bahamas customs declarations for returning residents and visitors. It lets you create a secure profile, scan passport information, add accompanying passengers, and complete a C17 form with automatically calculated duties. The app supports receipt uploads, itemized declarations, duty exemptions, and optional prepayment of duties via debit/credit card. It’s contactless and paperless, and information submitted is protected. Note that Mobile Passport/ID submitted to the Exempt profile is not a replacement for your physical passport.

Beyond declarations, Exempt offers a Shopping List that can be saved and uploaded to C17 forms, a Flight Tracker for departures and arrivals, and a City Guide with travel information. You can pre-declare and prepay from anywhere, generate a Mobile Passport QR Code for inspection, and manage receipts and baggage details to streamline the Bahamas port-of-entry process.

User Reviews

Exempt is a well-intentioned app that aims to speed Bahamas immigration by pre-filling forms, but it’s plagued by bugs, data issues, and poor airport integration. Frequent crashes, unsaved progress, and unreliable passport scans hinder use, while officials still rely on paper forms. Error messages and a confusing UI compound frustration. It needs substantial testing, reliability improvements, and a better UX before it can be considered a practical time-saver.
Pros
  • Conceptually good idea to streamline pre-arrival immigration and reduce in-person paperwork.
  • When functioning, users can set up an account and enter data before travel (e.g., scanning passports and filling forms).
  • Customer support is quick to respond and provide guidance.
Cons
  • Frequent bugs and crashes; the app is unstable and unresponsive.
  • Data saving and editing issues; progress often isn’t saved and users can’t go back to modify entries.
  • Passport scanning is unreliable and can produce incorrect data (e.g., wrong expiry date). Manual input is often required but may fail.
  • Airport implementation fails to replace paper forms; staff and processes still rely on paper and no code is available at the airport.
  • Error messages and validation problems (e.g., data format errors, passenger count mismatches) and non-intuitive UI.

Thought this would speed my entry into the Bahamas. Wrong! Still had to complete the paper form for immigration) one per person) and nobody at customs asked for the app.

After slogging my way through a very buggy app, told upon arrival it is not valid. Scam? Or just a waste of time?

User forced to scan passport even though details are in the system already. The ability to enter details here manually, does not work. After scanning and putting the information in, the app comes back with an error that there is something wrong with the details entered vs the information already in the system. This app needs a lot more testing.
