US Virgin Islands Work & study

Work

US citizens can work legally in the USVIs without any red tape, but it’s difficult for travelers of other nationalities to get legal work here. Foreigners need a work visa, and securing one without a sponsor (meaning an employer) is nearly impossible. Contact your embassy or consulate formore information.
