Virgin Islands Visa Waiver: Easier Travel for Tourists
This new law establishes a visa waiver program for the U.S. Virgin Islands, similar to existing programs for Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands. This means citizens of selected countries will be able to travel to the Virgin Islands for up to 45 days without needing a visa, facilitating tourism and business travel. In return, individuals using the program waive certain immigration appeal rights.
