Your next checks
- Write down the passport you will use and its type, your country of residence and your planned activities. Residence and interface language do not replace passport nationality.
- List arrival and departure dates, transit stops and entry points. Check each leg separately, including whether you pass immigration during transit.
- Open the official instructions for that profile. Record the required documents, submission window, fees and processing guidance; mark anything the source does not confirm as unresolved.
- If a condition is unclear, contact the competent authority with your passport country, residence, purpose and dates. Recheck before departure and after a passport or itinerary change.

Îles Vierges américaines : documents américains
Préparez l’entrée américaine pour Saint-Thomas, Sainte-Croix ou Saint-John. Les règles des îles Vierges britanniques ne couvrent pas cette destination.
Voyageurs étrangers : vérifier selon le passeport l’accès au Visa Waiver Program ou le visa américain applicable. La dispense de passeport annoncée localement vise les citoyens américains venant du continent américain ou de Porto Rico.
- Documents correspondant à votre statut américain et passeport pour le voyage international.
- ESTA approuvé si vous utilisez le programme d’exemption, ou visa requis pour votre profil.
- Préciser le pays de départ et les éventuelles excursions aux BVI.
- Vérifier les formalités américaines avant l’embarquement et celles d’une nouvelle entrée après une excursion étrangère.
- Un ESTA ne constitue pas une garantie d’admission ; le statut et l’itinéraire restent déterminants.
