Will: The advice I am getting from BVI Tourism is that I should be travelling as a visitor. I have also talked with people like me who are there now and they also travelled in as Non-Resident (visitor). In the meantime I have another problem. I can't get past the second page without an error message stopping me and telling me that my application is pending / hold.
You may need to have someone at the Tourist Board change your December application status to "Landed". It's supposed to happen when you arrive but sometimes it gets missed.
