BVI Newbie started as an annual, spiral bound magazine in 2011. Before it became the BVI Travel Guide it is today, our original goal was to clarify the process for those who planned on moving to the Virgin Islands. We aimed to make the process as fast and painless as possible. In more recent years, we have developed helpful BVI related content in relation to experiences, so people can explore and book yacht charters, and other activities. In addition to finding things to do, we also provide assistance for finding jobs and budgeting a relocation by utilising duty cost and tax calculators. This way new residents can better understand the cost of living and plan a budget for their visit or move with real life expectations.
The process has been long and challenging especially at the speed things can change in the BVI. This is why we’re currently developing new ways for our readers and the BVI community to be a part of it by crowd sourcing content and updates from BVI experts.
