For the USVI, U.S. citizens should carry proof of citizenship, such as a valid passport or birth certificate with picture ID.

Non- US visitors need a valid passport and proper visa.

For entry to the British Virgin Islands, U.S. and Canadian citizens are currently allowed to enter using an authenticated (raised seal) birth or citizenship certificate along with a current photo ID.

Entering with a valid passport is always recommended.

The Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative requires that the yachts file your passport information with Homeland Security no less than 24 hours before you enter BVI waters or re-enter US waters. The exact information required will be discussed during the booking process.

Remember, as stated above, those FLYING back to the US are required to carry a valid passport.

Please refer to the Homeland Security website, http://www.dhs.gov/xtrvlsec/crossingborders, for current updates.

No immunizations are needed.
