Has anyone been to BVI recently and had issues with covid tests coming back? Do they give you a piece of paper with your test result or an email to show when you get back to USVI?

They just opened up the Inter island ferry's from USVI a few weeks ago. Not sure of the covid testing requirements coming back.

3/6/2022 was the first trip from the USVI ferry since 2020 according to their post.

We were in the BVIs in December and took the self tests on video chat with the testing company to certify the results. We received an email which I showed USVI customs at the port of entry. It wasn't hard at all.

They accept electronic test results both going into the BVIs and into USVI.

Are you flying into the USVI? A recent update on the easing USVI travel restrictions.

Travel Update

We're going in May. Last I read of the BVI's requirements included a negative test report no older than 5 days, travel insurance in case they quarantine you or you come down with COVID there as well as a rapid antigen test when you arrive.

Returning to USVI isn't any easier.

Great news. We just booked 10 days on Jost in July. We don't use the ferries anymore. One of the restaurant owners on Jost will come pick us up in St. Thomas on his boat.

We're excited to get back. We haven't been there since 2019. I think we'll book Foxy's speed boat and do a day trip out to Anegada.

We are doing a few days on Jost for the 4th I think. If I’m reading correctly we can test before our flight to St Thomas (assuming it’s negative) and use that proof to get into Jost and back to St Thomas 5 days later. The ferry is only 3 days a week so we will probably get Frankie to pick us up.

What is entailed to take a ferry besides a passport. Staying on St John in July and want to do a day trip to Jost. Do they require another covid test to get in the bvi from the usvi?

I know it was changing weekly when we went last summer so check the website right before your trip.

They just updated the rules again this month but it’ll likely change by the summer. If coming from US you no longer need anything but a vaccination and to fill out your info on the travel portal to go to USVI.

The BVI still requires vaccination and negative covid testing. If test is within 48 hours no further testing is required. If within 5 days you still have to test again on Jost. But then you gotta show a negative test to get back to USVI.

You are required to check in to the BVI and pay an entry fee. There is also a check out process.

We're in the same boat. Going in July and hoping they open the BVIs back for day trips without all the bs.

Do you have to bring a vaccination card or will a picture of it on a phone work?

You have to upload a picture of it to the travel portal for both USVI and BVI I think and then be able to prove you are vaccinated too.

On Jost? Nigel and Karen own the house on the top of the ridge between Great Harbour and White Bay.

Nigel and Karen's House

We've stayed there several times and they're great people. They have two 2 bedrooms and a 1 bedroom that they rent out. Fantastic people.

We've also stayed at White Bay Villas and Seaside Cottages. Also highly recommended.

ETA; We're staying in the upstairs two bedroom at Nigel and Karen's in July.
