What documents do I need to enter the U.S. Virgin Islands?

A U.S. passport is not required for direct travel within the United States of America from any of the 50 states (including Hawaii, the District of Colombia or Alaska) or any of its territories (including Guam, Puerto Rico, Northern Mariana Islands, American Samoa and Swains Island) to the United States Virgin Islands. 

However, if you are entering the U.S. Virgin Islands from a foreign destination, you may be required to show a U.S. passport.

Adult passengers (18 and over) are required to show a U.S. federal or state-issued photo ID that contains the following: name, date of birth, gender, expiration date and a tamper-resistant feature in order to be allowed to go through federal checkpoint and onto their flight.  Passports are an accepted form of identification but are not mandatory for domestic travel at this time.  For more information on domestic or foreign arrival requirements as it relates to your visit to the Virgin Islands, please visit http://travel.state.gov.


How early should I arrive at the airport for my departure flight?

Travelers are advised to arrive at least two hours before the scheduled flight departure time to allow adequate time to check bags and clear the security checkpoints prior to boarding.  It is a good idea to verify departure requirements and travel documents with your airline before arriving at the airport.
