## Official travel advisory

**Level 1 — Exercise Normal Precautions.** The U.S. State Department places British Virgin Islands at Level 1 — Exercise Normal Precautions. Our live index reads 94.5/100. That advisory was last revised May 22, 2026, 102 days ago; the index above is recomputed continuously from current reporting.

The British Virgin Islands is considered broadly safe for visitors, and neither the risk indicators nor the overall assessment have shifted since the previous review. Hurricanes strike the territory on a recurring basis, making weather and natural-disaster conditions a standing consideration for anyone traveling there. Firearms and ammunition are treated seriously under local law, and travelers departing the United States are expected to inspect their bags for stray rounds or weapons left behind from earlier trips.
