Turks & Caicos Islands Visa Requirements

Visa Requirements

Visas are not required for stays of up to 30 days in the Turks and Caicos Islands for citizens of many countries, including Australia, New Zealand, the US, the UK and Ireland and Canada. Extensions of stay for up to 90 days is possible once you are in the country. A passport valid for a minimum of six months is required by all visitors, however nationals of Canada and the USA may provide proof of identity such as birth certificate and photo ID instead of a passport. Proof of a return or onward ticket as well as sufficient funds for the length of stay are required by all visitors.

Even though a passport is not necessarily required for US citizens for entry into the Islands they should be aware of the US government's requirement that all United States travellers be in possession of a valid passport to enter or re-enter the US.

There is a departure tax of US$23 and a Security Charge of US$5 which is usually included in the cost of your airline ticket when visiting the islands. If it is not included then it is payable only in cash or traveler's cheques.

As entry requirements may change from time to time it is strongly advised that you check with the department of foreign affairs or your local consulate or embassy for the current requirements.
