Montserrat Travel Guide

Montserrat is visa free for nationals of 135 countries, a broad allowance covering most of the world's major passport holding populations, and the complete, current list is published on the official Government of Montserrat website, worth checking directly given how these lists can shift. Business visitor entry permits can run up to six months, though the specifics for standard tourism entry depend on your particular nationality and should be confirmed against the government's own published list rather than assumed from a general figure.

John A. Osborne Airport, completed in 2005, replaced the island's original airport after the 1997 eruption of the Soufrière Hills volcano destroyed Montserrat's former capital, Plymouth, along with the older Bramble Airport, a piece of the island's history that shapes its layout and infrastructure to this day. It is a small, single-runway airport, the only one serving the island, and it is notably the only airport in the Caribbean with a public tunnel running underneath its runway. Most visitors connect through Princess Juliana International Airport in nearby Sint Maarten rather than flying to Montserrat directly.
