The information for Saba, PJ8 is the same as for the other Netherland Antellies Islands. I have just gone through the process for the second time. The only addition this year is the impossing of a 9$ US Stamp Fee. If the funds are sent via wire then a 11$ us fee is impossed by the bank. They will not take a check or Postal money order. I was there the first week 1998 and will probably go again this year and for certain next..Thanks
