This is a question about clearing Customs and Immigration on Beef Island. In the past we have travelled to the BVI and we were always given a C&I paper form to fill out before we got into port. But last year we flew into Beef Island from Miami Florida and not given a form. When we got to C&I they had a computer device set up for you to hold your smart phone up to and answer questions on your smart computer thingie. Ahem, not to tell you how old we are but the only phone we had was an old school flip phone and that would not work. When we got up to the window and were asked to download our info onto their desk machine we told them that we did not have that computerized equipment and were used to filling out a form. We got a young person omg who are you look and were told to go sit at a table. After many minutes a clerk came over and ran the questions by us verbally and we figured that was it. Nope! Then we were given the "old school" forms and had to fill out both sides as we did in the "old" days and then get back in line, have the papers gone over and then got our passports stamped and then were admitted into the BVI for our vacation. So the question here is are they still doing C&I this new way or offering senior's the paper option to speed things along? We are again flying into Beef Island for three weeks on Virgin Gorda. Information/updates appreciated.
