BVI ARRIVAL PROTOCOLS
New Protocols effective June 15, 2022
COMMERCIAL AIR & FERRY
Beginning on Wednesday the 15th of June 2022, persons traveling to the BVI, regardless of vaccination status, will no longer need to register for entry clearance on the BVI Gateway Travel Portal, and will not be required to show proof of travel insurance.
Day-trippers – meaning travellers who had been away from the Territory for less than 24 hours, or persons remaining in the Territory for less than 24 hours – will no longer need to present a COVID-19 test result upon arrival.
All other travellers over the age of 5, regardless of vaccination status, will have the following entry requirements:
• Present a negative rapid antigen test, or rt-PCR test, taken up to 48 hours before entry.
• Alternatively, a person may present a document issued by a licensed medical professional certifying COVID-19 recovery within 90 days prior to arrival, in place of a negative test.
• If unable to present a test result, or a Recovery certificate, the person will be tested upon arrival in the Territory.
• A person who tests positive on arrival will be required to adhere to Ministry of Health protocols and instructions for COVID-19 positive persons.
It is important to bear in mind that all travellers entering the Territory will continue to be subject to COVID-19 screening, and anyone exhibiting signs of illness may be tested at the port of entry.
The wearing of face masks or face coverings, whether indoors or outdoors, will no longer be mandated by law, but will be allowed as a matter of choice in public spaces. Even as this mask mandate is being lifted, any private establishment or service provider may institute its own policy on mask wearing.
Returning to the USA
PRIVATE & CHARTER VESSEL
We are verifying the new protocols for vessels, the information below is probably out of date now!
Effective April 22, 2022 fully vaccinated crewmembers do not need to complete the BVI Gateway Portal. However, all boats must register and submit arrival notification with www.sailclear.com
The protocols for any crewmember who has received the second COVID-19 vaccine no less than two (2) weeks before entry to the Virgin Islands, are as follow:
1) It would be a preference from the health authorities here, for you to arrive into the BVI within 48 hours of getting a negative test from your departure country. You would then NOT need to do an antigen test on arrival into the BVI thus making your clearance process quicker.
If you fall outside of this window, each crew member must pre-register for a rapid antigen test (cost $50) at intended arrival point on the following links:
West End Ferry Terminal – https://westend.bvi.care/
Road Town Ferry Terminal – https://rtferry.bvi.care/
Jost Van Dyke - https://jvdclinic.bvi.care/
These are the only three official ports of entry.
2) Every Vessel needs to sign up with www.sailclear.com
All crew onboard must upload the following to the website:
- Vaccination cards
- Negative Covid test result certificate from their departure country.
- Medical insurance (visitors only) which includes minimum approved coverage for: COVID-19 medical costs including hospitalisation; doctor’s visit and prescriptions medical repatriation; quarantine accommodation costs. Click here for insurance options.
3) These are now 3 ports of entry with Jost Van Dyke only doing Fully Vaccinated arrivals on Tuesday, Friday, Sunday 0830 - 1630.
You can check out of Jost on any day of the week.
Spanish town, You can still ONLY check out there, No Arrivals.
4) On arrival at port of entry have copies of, and be prepared to present:
a) Standard BVI Customs and Immigration entrance papers (Can be obtained on arrival)
b) Boat registration
c) Maritime Declaration of Health (download)
d) If your vessel is being stored in a boatyard for hurricane season, a letter or contract from the provider will be helpful.
5) On arrival each vaccinated crewmember must go ashore:
a) Present the medical certificate showing a negative Covid test. The test does NOT have to be valid within the 5 day timeline as specified previously.
b) Provide proof of vaccination (card or otherwise).
c) Boat registration
d) Provide medical insurance (visitors only).
e) Take an antigen rapid test. If the test results are negative, you will be free to enjoy the Virgin Islands.
