The Virgin Islands now has a new application form for the processing of the British Overseas Territories Passport.

Eighteen persons who were previously naturalised as British Overseas Territories citizens were today registered as British citizens.

REMARKS BY HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR MR. JOHN S. DUNCAN, OBE AT THE REGISTRATRION CEREMONY FOR BRITISH CITIZENSHIP
14 May 2015

Virgin Islanders will soon see a change in the process for obtaining British Overseas Territories Citizen passports which are issued locally.

It is a great pleasure for me, as your Governor, to hand over the Certificates of Naturalisation to a total of 48 people who have made their homes in the Virgin Islands.  Today is your day, marking a key milestone in your quest for British Citizenship.  Many of you will have harboured this ambition for years.  I hope and imagine that all of you are feeling a sense of fulfillment and satisfaction in attaining this citizenship status, conferring as it does the right to carry a BVI passport and to apply for a full British passport.

48 persons received their certificates of naturalisation and are now British Overseas Territories Citizens.
