Apply for your British Virgin Islands ED Card online

Yes. The ED Card is a mandatory entry requirement for every person entering the British Virgin Islands, including citizens of the US, UK, Canada, and the EU. It is a digital replacement for the old paper arrival forms.

While the government portal does not charge a fee for the form itself, iVisa provides a premium review and submission service to ensure your data is error-free and processed on time for a small service fee.

You will receive PDF receipts via email. These documents contain your confirmation for both Immigration and Customs. You must present these (on your phone or printed) to the BVI Immigration officer. You can also find a copy of your ED Card confirmation in your iVisa dashboard if applied through us.

Visitors are typically granted an initial stay of 30 days. You can apply for an extension through the BVI Immigration Department if you wish to stay longer.

Some nationalities (like Taiwanese passport holders or those with valid UK/US/Canadian visas) may be allowed to stay for up to 6 months depending on the purpose of travel.

The official government system allows submissions starting 72 hours (3 days) before your arrival. We recommend submitting your information to iVisa as soon as you have your travel plans so we can process it the moment the 72-hour window opens.

Yes. Every traveler, regardless of age, must have their own completed declaration. Parents or guardians can complete the form on behalf of minors.

You can use iVisa’s "Add another person" feature to easily manage applications for the whole family in one session, saving time and effort.

No. It is for single entry only. You must complete a new British Virgin Islands ED Card registration every time you enter the country.

While kiosks may be available at some ports of entry, completing it in advance is highly recommended to avoid long delays or being denied boarding by your carrier.

The BVI is moving toward a fully digital "paperless" entry system in the future, but for now paper forms may be still available at your port of entry. iVisa also offers Super Rush services for those in a hurry.
