1-2-3 PERMITTING PROCESS
If our stunning and unique imagery and locations isn't welcoming enough, the BVI Film Commission makes it as easy as 1-2-3 to get your production up and running.

1. Download the 1-paged Film Permit Application form from the film commission's weblink.

2. Submit the completed application form, along with the required information to the BVI Film Commissioner (rskelton@bvitourism.com) at least 10 days prior to your arrival.

3. Lights, Camera...Action!

SUPPORT SERVICES
Most of the support services that you need for your production can be found right here in the British Virgin Islands. Since the Government changed its policy in 1992 to encourage filming in the BVI, a cadre of technical and non-technical professionals has registered with the Commission. Many have accumulated international experience working on productions locally, regionally and internationally. Here is a brief rundown of what the BVI offers to support your production:
