I was just unclear about his vaccination status. And from I what I saw the BVI Govt official say, you could just show up in the country now unannounced with a negative test. No mention of having to "complete a test appointment". And if you don't have to go through the portal, who is checking if you have adequate travel insurance?

Was Anegada EVER a port of entry? As far as I know it was never one.

Jason:
Have they opened Anegada as a port of entry (for fully vaccinated)? I heard the premier mention it but hadn't heard of any actual progress in that direction.
Thanks,
They have mentioned it several times but it's not true as far as I've heard. To be honest, I'm not even sure the motivation for that unless they have had requests from USVI day boats. We do occasionally run into a USVI day tripper out at Pomato Point but it's rare.

I found the Premier's statement - made on the 15 of June 2020 (URL: https://bvi.gov.vg/media-centre/statement-premier-fahie-bvi-tourism-gets-further-boost) Extracted from that statement: "As such, on 9th June Cabinet approved the reopening of the following ports of entry to receive fully vaccinated international travellers and crew members only, starting 17th June, 2021: Soper’s Hole Dock, West End; Dog Hole Dock, Jost Van Dyke, and St Thomas Bay Dock, Virgin Gorda These ports of entry will be known as fully vaccinated ports of entry for only fully vaccinated travellers and crew. Cabinet also decided that all requisite Government and Statutory Bodies work together to establish Anegada Seaport as an official Port of Entry, to receive fully vaccinated travellers and crew members only for this initiative. The public will receive updates as we continue to move forward with this initiative. Please also be advised that the Road Town seaport and the Terrance B. Lettsome International Airport will be the only ports where vaccinated and non-vaccinated travellers would be allowed to enter the Territory."
