Is a passport required to re enter the US from St Thomas?

No. Even with the new Western Hemisphere initiative effective June 1, 2009, travel directly from the US to a US territory does not require a passport.

Answer 2

We are traveling to St. Thomas in March 2008. I called the National Passport Information Center to ask if we needed passports. The representative said you do NOT need a passport to travel any US territories including St. Thomas. NPIC 877-487-2778.

Answer 3

No, a passport is not required because it is considered part of the u.s. territory, so basically you have not left the united states. Although it would be wise to have a passport anyway incase your flight gets diverted, or you decide to go on a boat off the island that could end up outside u.s. territory. Better to be safe than sorry. No, a passport is not required because it is considered part of the u.s. territory, so basically you have not left the united states.

Answer 4

No you do not but there are many misinformed Law Enforcement Officials who will attempt to persue you. Ignore them and run if necessary. If it comes down to a court case you will win even without a lawyer.

Answer 5

NO, but it does make clearing customs on your way out a lot easier.

Answer 6

If you are a U.S. citizen or U.S. VISA holder, you do not need a passport to travel to St. Thomas.

Answer 7

I just check this out with my travel agent because I am leaving on 6-10-09 by air. She said you do not need a passport because St. Thomas is a U.S. territory.
