I tried to get a fishing license to start around Christmas and run for a month. My application was cutting it close but my first reply from BVI was very recent, weeks after I requested. To their credit, they were very polite and apologetic asking if I still wanted the license. I said yes, please go ahead and start the license the day you process it and let it run for 30 days. I got another email a few days later indicating that they had somehow lost my application and could I resend it. At the time I was out sailing in the SVIs, so no, that's not really possible. Pretty disappointing. Typically their response is fantastic. Lost revenue for them and more money I spent in Culebra instead by extending my time there.
