Caribbean Vacations

When entering the Caribbean for vacation, check with the island that you plan on visiting.  Every island in the Caribbean has its own entry requirements. You will find that most countries will allow visits for up to two or three months if you show proof of U.S. citizenship and a return or onward ticket.

 

If you are arriving from an area infected with yellow fever, many Caribbean countries require you to have a certificate of vaccination against yellow fever. Some countries have an airport departure tax of up to $25. For authoritative information on a country's entry and exit requirements and on its customs and currency regulations, contact its embassy, consulate, or tourist office in the United States.

Returning - Warning! Be certain that you can return to the United States with the proof of citizenship that you take with you. Although some Caribbean countries may allow you to enter with only a birth certificate, U.S. Immigration requires that you document both your U.S. citizenship and identity when you reenter the United States.

The best way to prove your U.S. citizenship is a valid U.S. pass port. Other documents of U.S. citizenship include a certified copy of your birth certificate, a Certificate of Naturalization , a Certificate of Citizenship , or a Report of Birth Abroad of a U.S. Citizen.

Prove your identity with a valid driver's license or a government identification card that includes a photo or a physical description is acceptable.

Caribbean Vacations can be planned in a variety of ways. All inclusive resorts, cruise ships and package deals are a good place to start.
