I got this from a site that specializes in relocating people to the USVI.
What paperwork do I need to live and work in the Virgin Islands?
Americans: If you are an American citizen you do not need any new documents in terms of work visas or papers. American citizens can freely travel and work in the U.S.V.I. Social Security cards are needed, passports are a good idea, other identification papers like drivers license and a birth certificate should be carried.

Well, the actual moving would be a bit more trouble and more expensive, but you do not need a passport or permission to move there...so it is similar to moving to another state. I believe it is very expensive to live there. Would be a good idea to do a web search and learn all you can...and contact real estate agents there to get idea of cost of living. See the websites below for info on moving to the U.S. Virgin Islands.

sure....you have to ship furniture or cars, so that's a bit of a hassle; the Cost of Living here is about 25 to 35% above the mainland.....electricity for example is 32 cents a kWh as opposed to a typical 12-14 cents per on "The Big Island" so ., if you like A/C you can spend 400 a month easily on power...
we are three small islands, so we are three small towns with all the problems a small town implies......close knit, interrelated; we see SO MANY people pass through here that we're a bit stand offish till we see your face around for awhile, so be prepared to spend 3 months or so getting settled in and finding work..and remember, in the VI we don't care what you do as long as we know all about it!

Depends where you go. Lots of countries have different laws, so some will allow anyone who comes in to keep their marriage legally, and some only from certain countries. The United States is in no way special - it rarely gets special treatment; it is not a central country or anything, so people getting married there won't always be lucky enough to still be legally married if they go to a different country.

I was born there and personally ~ i think it would be easier but now u need a passport for everything and you may need a passport to go down there ~ and its not that easy but don't be close minded and be open to new ideas ~ we do not have everything that people in the states have ~ don't make fun of the accents or anything ~ and for the record we are americans too

If you can deal with a little culture shock you should have no problem....as far as ease of movements as in the states...not much different. Just don't be closed minded and you will be fine.

Trust me, the name is just another example of false advertising.
