Travelling to the Caribbean from the UK?

Does a Briton need a visa to travel to the Caribbean? Do they travel on the American visa waver programme?
It wont be via USA, it will be direct.

i'm flying to barbados in 3 weeks and i don't need a visa with my UK passport. you might need a visa if you have a stop-over in the USA. i'm flying direct.

Depends where you are going, Ive been to dominican Republic and Mexico and paid for a visa at the airport there. paid rougley 20 dollars 10 pounds
Ask your travel agent they will have the information.

I've been to the Dominican Republic and entry visas were issued on arrival at the airport for £10.

You probably do not need a visa to travel to the Caribbean, but use this website to check entry requirements for specific countries:

If you do transit the USA you can do so on the Visa Waiver Program:

Hope you have a great trip!

Depends on where you go. Dont need one for Jamaica but do need to fill out an immigration card when entering and show this when leaving. Also must pay departure tax £10/$20

I know of no country in the Caribbean where a Brit needs a visa which has to be applied for in advance. Obviously you'll have to fill in immigration and customs forms before landing, but that has nothing to do with the visa waver programme. If you are fortunate enough to have a direct flight, then you won't be subjected to the arduous routine at US airports even for people in transit.

Have a good trip!

I do not believe that you need a visa to travel to Barbados. We once belong to the British. Once before you could just use an ID but I don't know if that has changed. I can only speak for here but I think it is so with all the English-speaking islands. For the French ones I had to get a visa as well as for Puerto Rica a US visa. Below you can check out the British embassy and e-mail them for any further information.
