Before the rule change, passengers would have to produce a negative PCR or antigen test taken no later than 48 hours before arrival in the territory.

Fully vaccinated arrivals that present proof of vaccination and a negative test result are also no longer required to pre-register on the territory’s entry portal.

However, fully vaccinated passengers who present a negative test older than 48 hours will be required to pre-register on the portal and take a rapid antigen test on the day of arrival.

The protocols for unvaccinated and partially vaccinated travellers remain the same. This includes the requirement to seek travel authorisation via the online portal, test on arrival and quarantine for seven and four days respectively.
 
Fully vaccinated cruise ship passengers who have a negative test will also not be required to take another test on arrival, and will be allowed to move freely within the territory.
 
British Virgin Islands’ director of tourism, Clive McCoy, said the territory’s tourism partners have reported "strong bookings" heading into 2022.

"We are very encouraged with the response from travellers to the phased relaxation of our protocols," he added.

"However, we still caution guests and the local population to strictly adhere to all the existing protocols that will ensure our safety, including social distancing, mask wearing and observing hygiene and sanitisation best practices."
