Essential St. Croix Travel FAQs
-
No, U.S. citizens are not required to present a passport for entry to St. Croix, as it is an unincorporated territory of the United States. A government-issued photo ID (like a driver's license) is sufficient for air travel. More specifically, there is nobody to present any documents to upon arrival, as entry to St. Croix is a 2-minute unrestricted walk to the airport exit.
When you depart, you will need to prove citizenship and a driver’s license is standard with a passport potentially speeding the process along. Once through that screening, you will need to collect your checked luggage and proceed to an agricultural screening and then drop off your checked luggage again. Then it’s TSA, with pre-check if you have it, and then to the departure gate area.
US Citizens can transport up to $1,600 of duty-free merchandise every 30 days from St. Croix to the mainland.
