in the British Virgin Islands
At this link you will find HM Customs’ most recent version of their Foreign charter companies Guide Revised.
At this link you will find the VIPCA Government committee list of licenses, registrations, certifications and documents required required for US Crew Options for BVI Chartering.
The BVI government is in the process of revising their legislation to codify and then implement proposed changes to their regulations and protocols for foreign based charter vessels wishing to charter in the BVI. Some of these changes as proposed will have a significant impact on the business plans of many of our members. VIPCA has been actively communicating with both the BVI and USVI governments to strongly encourage re-opening discussions and negotiations between the two governments. These discussions will allow for the opportunity to further develop protocols that enhance and build tourism for both territories. At the very least, requests have been made for a delay in any further changes being implemented to give time for these extended discussions to take place. We will keep you apprised of any further developments, but for now the latest updates should be sourced from the BVI government directly.
