The following information applies to travel to and
from the USVI.
-
Entering the
USVI from a
US Airport: U.S. citizens are not required to have
passports or proof of citizenship when
entering into the U.S. Virgin
Islands from a U.S. airport. Please note
however that airlines have different policies and may ask for
proof of identity at check-in.
-
Entering the
USVI from a
Foreign Airport: All arrivals from foreign airports are
required to show proof of citizenship and pass through customs.
-
Leaving the
USVI,
Returning to the US Mainland: All persons leaving the USVI,
whether American citizens or not, must be prepared to
show proof of citizenship upon leaving
the USVI to return to the mainland.
-
Accepted documents for
Proof of Citizenship for Americans: 1. A passport issued
under competent authority, 2. An Alien Registration Card
(this applies to United States of America permanent residents
only) 3. A certified copy of a birth certificate with
government issued photo identification (this applies to Canadian
and United States citizens only) 4. A Certificate of
Naturalization, issued by the United States Immigration and
Naturalization Service.
-
Why do you need proof to
Leave? Because of the location of
the Virgin Islands, there is a required pre-clearance for all
flight destined for the USA and Puerto Rico. The U.S.
Virgin Islands is considered a 'port of entry' to the mainland,
which means you are reentering the USA, this requires proof of
citizenship.
-
Citizens of any country other than the U.S.
should follow U.S. travel regulations and
requirements for entry into the USA.
Note: If you have any questions, you may call the U.S.
Immigration and Naturalization office in St. Thomas at
(340)774-4279.
