Does a US citizen need a passport to visit Turks and Caicos? How about my 2 year old son?

A U.S. citizen must have a passport for any international trip. you will not be allowed on an international flight without a passport. Even newborns need passports. See website below for all info on getting passports. If you are travelling to the islands by SEA, you do not yet need passports if your cruise begins and ends in the U.sS But, some cruise lines require passengers to have passports, so CALL the cruise line and ask to be sure.

You and your son need a passport to fly to Turks and Caicos. For the year 2007, you do not need a passport to travel to Turks and Caicos by ship. The requirements will change sometime next year.

Turks and Caicos is a British Overseas Territory so a both you and your son are required to have passports if you plan to fly. If you are going by sea, then a passport is not required but you will need:

An original (or certified copy of) Birth Certificate; this must be accompanied by:

- An official Government issued photo ID i.e. driver's license. (This not required for minors aged up to and including. 11 years)

In all cases (by air or by sea) you are required to have:

- Onward or return tickets

- Evidence of sufficient funds for your stay.

You should also be aware that a departure tax is required of all persons 12 years of age and older.
