Digital arrival cards and entry declarations

Arrival cards are the part of entry paperwork most exposed to imitation: the forms are free or nearly free, and look-alike sites charging a fee routinely outrank the government page. Every URL in this table is the official one. We are not paid by any of them and there is nowhere else to click.
