Right to Remain

Here in the British Virgin Islands. there are three categories of person.
1. BVIslander
2. Belonger
3. Visitor

BVIslanders can call themselves such by the proof that their grandparents on both sides were born on these Islands. They are full citizens.

For Belongers, one has to have been born here or one of your parents born here. If you are so fortunate then you are considered a citizen as far as you do not need a permit to work. You do not have the right to vote.

Everyone else are Visitors on yearly work permits or as tourists (tourist visas are for 1 month but can be renewed every month for 6 months).

I hear there are exceptions to the rule. Actually there are alot of exceptions - and they will be discovered in time.

Back again

I need to touch base again. I have been abroad (South America) for some time now. This was primarily due to visa/work permit bureaucracy. This all seems sorted now.

Will be providing updates as they come in.

Welcome back to the BVI, Natures Little Secret. 

Arrived

First entry.
I have arrived in the West Indies with the family.
Words to describe it: hot, humid, stormy, squalls and swells, redstripe, coconuts and taxis.

So far the entourage have settled in. My Daughter has already gone native. Her mother has ingratiated herself  with similar mothers. The dog has replaced the word squirrel with chicken.
