The Project Team which includes Director of Business Development Fuencisla Leal-Santiago, Account Manager Patrick Crotteau, Project Manager Anamaria Dogar, and Business Analyst Hyo-Min Lee will install the visa system at the various ports of entry throughout the Virgin Islands.

The team will also meet with a number of key departments and personnel to ensure that the implementation of the full Border Management and eVisa System is completed seamlessly.

The procurement of materials and equipment for the Border Management and eVisa System began shortly after the Government of the Virgin Islands signed the five year contract with CBN to develop a system to monitor the Territory’s borders for the next five years and share real time information between agencies.

Minister for Natural Resources, Labour and Immigration Hon. Vincent Wheatley said, "I think this project is very important for the Immigration Department and for the Territory as a whole. I welcome the Project Team with open arms and look forward to fruitful results.”

Premier and Minister of Finance, Hon. Andrew Fahie reiterated that the initiative is not just moving the BVI on the cutting edge, but it is actually putting it on the bleeding edge. He also expressed gratitude to the representatives from Canadian Bank Note for meeting the Government’s standards in developing the system.
