British Virgin Islands

British Virgin Islands

The British Virgin Islands host a small number of refugees and asylum-seekers, many of whom arrive as part of mixed migration flows from the Caribbean and beyond. UNHCR works with local authorities and partners to ensure access to protection services and documentation while promoting community-based support initiatives.

*The operations in the British Virgin Islands are coordinated by the Panama multi-country office.
