Hi - my husband is going to St. Thomas in February. Is a passport needed to return to the US or can he use a drivers license and birth certificate?
Thanks.
Marty....whacha doing on Barbados????? I know...you are checking it out so you will be the expert for all of us who want to go there!!!
>>>It goes without saying regardless of what you hear, read, watch, a passport is eventually going to be mandatory regardless of where you travel
(That quote fits into the category of "what you hear, read, watch" and your opinion is not based in fact)
Regardless of where you travel? So like if I go from Texas to Oklahoma I'll have to show a passport? I don't think so.
The US government considers the USVI to be part of the United States, just like Hawaii, Alaska, Florida, and all the other states. As long as you are going from one US territory to another US territory (like from Texas to Oklahoma or Florida to St. Thomas), you DON'T need a passport.
That said, I do prefer to travel with a passport, because I think it's easier.
