COVID-19-related international travel restrictions in British Virgin Islands continue as of March 21.

Warning

Event

As of March 21, COVID-19-related international travel restrictions in force in the British Virgin Islands (BVI) continue. Authorities lifted most domestic measures in October.

International Travel Restrictions
Requirements for travelers entering BVI vary depending on the individual's vaccination status:

  • Fully vaccinated individuals must show proof of vaccination, with the last dose being at least two weeks before arrival. They must also show proof of a negative PCR test or rapid antigen taken within five days before arrival, as well as travel insurance that covers the costs of any COVID-19 medical procedure and quarantine. Travelers do not need to take an additional test upon arrival unless their pre-travel test is more than 48 hours old. Unvaccinated individuals under the age of 18 traveling with vaccinated adults must show proof of a negative PCR test taken within five days before arrival and must take an additional test upon arrival.

  • Partially vaccinated individuals must register in the BVI Gateway portal and obtain approval to travel from the Environmental Health Division. They must also have proof of a negative PCR test taken within 3-5 days before arrival and have travel insurance. Upon arrival, they must quarantine for at least four days at an approved location and take new tests on the day of their arrival and on day four of their stay to end quarantine.

  • Unvaccinated individuals must follow the same steps as partially vaccinated individuals but must quarantine for seven days upon arrival and take a test on the day of their arrival and on day seven of their stay in order to end the quarantine.

Fully vaccinated travelers may enter BVI through Terrance B. Lettsome International Airport (EIS) and two seaports - the Road Town Jetty and the West End Jetty. Partially and unvaccinated travelers may only enter through EIS or the Road Town Jetty seaport.

Authorities could reimpose, extend, further ease, or otherwise amend any restrictions with little-to-no notice depending on disease activity over the coming weeks.
