British nationals do not need visas to visit the BVI.  It is normal practice for BVI Immigration to issue you with a one-month entry stamp on arrival.  You can then apply for an extension for up to six months.  You may be required to provide evidence (e.g. an onward ticket) of your plans to leave the BVI at the end of your stay.

If you are not a British national, you may need a visa to visit the BVI.  For more information, you should contact the Identity and Passport Service at the Home Office on 020 7901 2334 from 1000 to 1600 GMT (Mon-Fri), or the BVI Government Visa Unit.

All persons entering the BVI must have a valid passport with at least six months left on it.

 

Single parents or other adults travelling alone with children should be aware that some countries require documentary evidence of parental responsibility before allowing lone parents to enter the country or, in some cases, before permitting the children to leave the country.
