TravelTalkOnline Forums Travel and Vacation Forums British Virgin Islands Travel restrictions from BVI to USVI

Hi, going on bare boat charter out of Tortola first week in December. I think I have a good idea on the travel restrictions for the USA mainland to USVI and from USVI to the BVI’s. What I can’t find is what is required to get back into the USVI from the BVI’s by ferry? The charter is for 10 days.

If I need to get a rapid antigen test 3 days before I go to the USVI can I get it at the ferry dock in Tortola the day I leave? If not, is there any companies going n the area offering this test. Thanks for you advice.

There are test sites posted in other threads. Your other option is to purchase the proctored BinaxNOW home test. Order it online before you leave the US and toss it in your luggage. The cost is about $35.

You'll have lots of opportunities. The requirement is now 5 days if you arrive to USVI by ferry.
