Rules in force · 5
  • Turks and Caicos ↗The Turks and Caicos Islands set their own entry rules as a British Overseas Territory; check official government sources for your passport.
  • Turks and Caicos ↗Firearms and ammunition are banned: even a single forgotten round in your luggage can lead to arrest and a prison sentence. Check every bag before you fly.
  • Turks and Caicos ↗Marine national parks are enforced: do not take shells, coral or conch, and follow anchoring rules.
  • Providenciales ↗Outside the Grace Bay strip there is no public transport: book a rental car or fixed-rate taxis before you land, and drive on the left.
  • Providenciales ↗Sun and sea: strong UV all year, and no lifeguards on most beaches; use reef-safe sun protection and check the wind before snorkelling.
