Virginia Beach Entry Requirements

Virginia Beach pulls in millions of visitors each year, most touching down at Norfolk International Airport, barely 20 minutes from the Atlantic waves. Expect the familiar rhythm of US Customs and Border Protection: officers in navy uniforms, fluorescent lights bouncing off glossy terrazzo, the steady roll of suitcase wheels and muffled gate calls drifting through the arrivals hall. Jet fuel lingers in the air, cut by the sharper scent of coffee drifting from the kiosks. Once you reach Virginia Beach, line up at the glass booths and have your documents ready. Immigration usually chews up 30, 45 minutes at busy times, with separate lanes for US citizens and everyone else. Virginia Beach keeps Eastern Standard Time, and your passport needs six clear months left before expiry.
