Travel Info Do I need a passport in order to travel to st.thomas usvi and back to ny.? Travel Tips Do you do not need a passport... BUT you will in 2008. The Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 requires that by January 1, 2008, travelers to and from the Caribbean, Bermuda, Panama, Mexico and Canada have a passport or other secure, accepted document to enter or re-enter the United States. In order to facilitate the implementation of this requirement, the Administration is proposing to complete it in phases following a proposed timeline, which will be published in the Federal Register in the near future. This is a change from prior travel requirements and will affect all United States citizens entering the United States from countries within the Western Hemisphere who do not currently possess valid passports. This new requirement will also affect certain foreign nationals who currently are not required to present a passport to travel to the United States. Most Canadian citizens, citizens of the British Overseas Territory of Bermuda, and to a lesser degree, Mexican citizens will be affected by the implementation of this requirement. http://travel.state.gov/travel/cbpmc/cbp... Source(s): http://travel.state.gov/travel/cbpmc/cbp... Other Travel Tips No you do not. The Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative has not yet been implemented to warrant needing a passport for one, and secondly, US territories will not be affected once this initiative is implemented. http://travel.state.gov/travel/cbpmc/cbp... Modified 1 year ago Soapboxgod is correct. You do not need a passport to go to St Thomas but what is your route? If you are stopping at a foreign port enroute you might need one. If you go direct from the US or only stop in San Juan you are O.K. |
