According to Walker in another post a round trip ferry ticket suffices? Quote Speaking of Customs and Immigration: Now that they are getting back to work and re-establishing the usual systems, you should know that regardless of your intent to assist or volunteer or if you have a home or other interest in the BVI, you could run into challenges with these offices. If you have a work permit, residential status, or Landholders permit - it is recommended that you go ahead and purchase a return ticket and have it with you. Even though this is legally not required, there has been some missinterpretation of these laws that are hanging up good samaritans. her whole update is here with pics, just amazing https://www.facebook.com/divebvi/posts/10155750510906310 cheers!

We were treated like pieces of dirt even though we were bringing in relief supplies. We almost had to beg to get in. There was six people in the customs booth. One was sleeping, one was tuning out to his ear buds and three pretended we were not there. It took 45 minutes to clear six people with no one in front of us. Bottom line is don't expect to be welcomed regardless of your intentions or paperwork.

We were not asked for any return travel information other than the date we planned to leave. The processed about 50 people from a Native Son boat in record time with no computers and customs basically waved us thru. I was entering with a new passport that did not yet have my work permit stamp. Even that was not an issue. The officer asked for the old passport and reminded me to stop at immigration the following week for a new stamp.
