TravelTalkOnline Forums Travel and Vacation Forums British Virgin Islands C&I/black ink pen

OK, I know this has been posted before, but not recently, and we have had some "newbies" posting, so here goes: the Customs and Immigration forms that you are issued on the ferry/airplane to the BVI requires a dark colored/black ink pen. No green, red, pink, etc...black only, or you will be regulated to the end of the C&I line to redo you C&I form in black ink. Sad to say that I, a concerned and caring guy, almost laughed out loud at the poor person relegated to the end of the line for using a pink ink pen for the C&I paper's. Then I remembered the time I used a blue pen... <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/duh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/jester.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Yikes.gif" alt="" />

Thanks, Charlie! 11 days and counting. We'll be sure to tell Edith hello.

I have never had a problem with blue ink including just last February at Beef Island

We always use blue & have been in & out of C&I on BVI & US sides at least 10 times this season.
I would hope that any adult would know that pink, green, purple... Whatever... Are not acceptable colors for any official document.

I used a blue pen once about 15 years ago and had to redo the form. I guess blue is ok now. Good news. But it is a black ink pen in my shirt pocket anyway...lol.

Last year we had no problems with blue ink

Red is only to be used by the Queen!

Just got down on the 12th. Used blue ink for all four of us, no problems
