No Passport Required
As a territory of the United States, the U.S. Virgin Islands (St. Thomas, St. John and St. Croix) does not require American citizens to possess a passport to enter the destination or return to the U.S. mainland. Therefore, the USVI is unaffected by the new passport rules that were implemented in January 2007 so guests can make their reservations at Bolongo without worrying about a passport.
Bolongo Bay Beach Resort
