I knew someone who had a passport going to expire 5 days after they RETURN home from the BVIs. So they applied and received a new one. The night before their flight to BVI their Labrador chewed up the new Passport. Long story short they were told by US Passport agency in St Thomas they could provide the necessary paperwork to enter BVI. They basically applied for another passport and was assured it would work. BVI officials didn't recognize the paperwork, but entry stamped the hole punched, "voided" passport (presented to them as a last resort) without issue..."because it wasnt going to expire until after departure in 10 days".... <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/duh.gif" alt="" />
