Yes, all travelers entering the British Virgin Islands (BVI) must clear both Immigration and Customs. Whether you arrive by air at Terrance B. Lettsome International Airport (EIS) or by sea via ferry or private yacht, you are required to present a valid passport and a completed Customs Declaration Form. In 2026, the BVI has streamlined this process through an Online Immigration & Customs Portal, which travelers are encouraged to complete 72 hours before arrival. This digital "ED Form" generates a receipt that you must show to officers upon landing. If you are sailing between the BVI and the U.S. Virgin Islands, you must officially "clear out" of BVI customs before leaving and "clear in" again upon your return, paying relevant cruising permits and environmental taxes.
