    British Virgin Islands: Guyanese nationals exempt from a visa

    The current, in-force 2024 BVI amendment adds nationals of Guyana to the Visa Exemption Order. S.I. No. 26 of 2026 is a separate, narrowly framed exemption for certain children born in the Territory and does not amend that nationality rule.

    • This maps the nationality-based visa exemption only for an ordinary visitor passport; admission, length of stay, and other entry requirements remain discretionary.
    • S.I. No. 26 of 2026 concerns children under 11 born in the Territory to ordinarily resident parents and is not a nationality visitor schedule.

    British Virgin Islands: current named visa-required nationalities

    The live Government visa service directs visa-required nationalities to its linked schedule; the approved visa is returned by email before travel and must be included before entry.

    • This applies to an ordinary passport of a nationality expressly named without a purpose limitation in the current Government-linked schedule, for a short visitor entry.

    • Belarus, Moldova, Russia and Ukraine remain listed as visa-required for the ordinary baseline; the schedule limited mega-yacht waiver is a vessel-, duration-, and purpose-conditioned exception, not a nationality-wide substitute.
    • A valid UK, United States or Canadian visa may furnish a separate document-conditioned exemption for a visitor; it is not a nationality-wide ordinary-passport policy.
