Entry/Exit Requirements
"All Americans traveling by air outside the United States are
required to present a passport or other valid travel document to
enter or re-enter the United States. This requirement will be extended
to sea travel (except closed loop cruises), including ferry service,
by the summer of 2009. Until then, U.S. citizens traveling by sea
must have government-issued photo identification and a document
showing their U.S. citizenship (for example, a birth certificate
or certificate of nationalization), or other WHTI
compliant document such as a passport card for entry or re-entry
to the U.S.
In addition [to a valid passport] visitors to British Virgin Islands
may be asked to show onward/return tickets, proof of sufficient
funds and proof of lodging accommodations for their stay. Upon initial
entry, no more than 60 days will be granted. At the end of 60 days,
visitors must report to the Immigration Department's main office
in Road Town for an extension. Extensions of up to 90 days are issued
at the discretion of the Immigration Officer subsequent to an interview.
Visitors entering the British Virgin Islands by yacht during daylight
hours are required to proceed directly to a port of entry and clear
immigration controls. Visitors arriving by yacht outside of business
hours should register with Immigration at opening of business the
following business day. Failure to comply with these regulations
can lead to heavy fines or imprisonment." - US State Dept
