Answer#1: there are alot of wrong answers and bad info out
there regarding travel to and from the USVI and
Puerto Rico.Even some airlines have it wrong..see
the question also in Caribbean about North West
Airlines policy...to sum up: If you are an
American, you are travelling only between the US
mainland and PR or the VI you do NOT need a
passport. see the link to travle.state.gov.If you
are travelling outside the USVI and PR.......like
to the BRITISH Virgin Islands you DO need
passport.Some AIRLINES requier you have a passport
even if the US Government doesnt. Check with them
seperatly.Everyone got that? This WILL be on the
final......
Answer#2: you DO NOT need to bring proof of citizenship if
you are traveling entirely within the united
states (and, yes, USVI is part of the united
states)but you DO need to bring government-issued
photo in order to get on the plane if you are 18
y.o. or oldera passport is a great photo ID, but a
driver's license is just as acceptable!*** if you
are coming from somewhere other than the United
States, then yes, you will need a passport!have a
great trip, HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Answer#3: No, it's a US territory.
Answer#4: Some of the answers you got are confusing to me!
If you are a U.S. citizen, you DO NOT NEED a
passport to visit the U.S. Virgin Islands. If you
go to territories not controlled by the U.S. you
will need one. Go to the web site below to read
the very clearly stated regulations for
yourself..to avoid any confusion.
Answer#5: Yes you will need it as of January 2007.
Answer#6: Yes, under law if you are flying in and out of the
United States as of January 23, 2007 you will be
required to have on yet if you are cruising down
there then you will need a valid ID like Drivers
License and a birth certificate.
Answer#7: This seems to be the latest on entry requirements
to the US Virgin Islands. Your timing is
perfect---the rules change as of today:A valid
passport is the principal requirement for entry
into the BVI although US and Canadian citizens are
currently allowed to enter using an authenticated
birth or citizenship certificate (with raised
seal) along with current picture identification.
However, effective December 31, 2006 as a result
of the US government’s Western Hemisphere Travel
Initiative which requires all US citizens to
reenter the United States with passports,
passports will be required by all visitors
entering the Territory.
Answer#8: No you do not because it is governed by the
Federal Government of the United States.But watch
out once you get there because on both the British
and the U.S. Virgin Islands, vehicles are driven
on the left-hand side of the road, yet most cars
on the islands have their steering wheels on the
left side (usually common for drive-on-the-right
localities).
