Do I need a passport to vacation at the Virgina Isands? Also, when is a cheap but safe from hurricanes time? |
Travel Info I would like to visit the Virgin Islands but need advice on where to stay (we are middle-aged but not fancy or stuffy) and when to travel there. Also, what is there to do and what should we avoid or beware of down there? Thanks. Travel Tips the passport question comes up all the time......for American citizens you do not now nor will you ever need a passport as the UNITED STATES Virgin Islands are part of the UNITED STATES and traveling from Miami to St Thomas is no different than traveling from Boston to Martha's Vineyard. The link is www.travel.state.gov. Read it completely down to the part that covers the Virgins, PR, Guam, American Samoa...... Not fancy or stuffy would be Bolongo Bay Beach Resort... Do? Water Sports, sailing, swimming snorkeling diving deep sea fishing capital of the world; beaching , great shopping as we are a"duty free" port...... just like anywhere there are areas you should not go...they are pretty obvious as you drive thru them, so DON'T STOP!..the tourist centered areas and he hotels are safe as anywhere and better than most other Caribbean Islands..... Come on down! Source(s): lived on STT 35 years Other Travel Tips Hurrican season is from June till November! Usually early summer june july aug there isn't a problem. It's only after the ocean water has warmed up alot hurricanes and such start to form. And YES you do need a passport!!! If you leave the USA at all you need it to get back in!! It depends. If you are a U.S. citizen and traveling to the United States Virgin Islands (St. Croix, St. John, St. Thomas, and Water Island), then you do not need a passport. However, if you are traveling to the British Virgin Islands (Tortola, Virgin Gorda, Anegada and Jost Van Dyke), U.S. citizens need a valid U.S. passport or other proof of U.S. citizenship (original or certified birth certificate, Certificate of Naturalization or Certificate of Citizenship as well as photo identification), onward or return tickets, and sufficient funds for your stay. I've never been, so I can't tell you what to do or where to go. I just know what it takes to get there. |
