User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I don't believe that there are any laws which limit how much cash you can take OUT of the British Virgin Islands. But going out of the British Virgin Islands usually means going INTO the United States (either the USVI or Puerto Rico), and if you carry over $10,000 in cash or negotiable instruments you need to declare it.
