Most countries expect their own flag. In some cases it makes clearing
customs & immigration a lot quicker.

I've cleared in there in both Provo and Grand Turk on different
occasions and customs/immigration has never come near the boat. In
fact, it's rather a long walk from the anchorages to customs, and on
Grand Turk they seemed astonished that someone would actually sail a
boat there from Bermuda.

In my experience in the Bahamas and Caribbean it's pretty unusual for
customs/immigration to leave their air-conditioned office.

We fly the red duster in the TCI.
