EAA and AOPA claim to have info on this stuff. It is pretty
spotty. The FAA web site does as well. (Getting a Cuban overflight permit is
well documented on the FAA site and was actually trivial. I sent an email with
all the required info to Cuba and got an email back with permission and an ID
number.)
The Bahamas requires a copy of a standard letter see: http://www.bahamas.com/assets/content/pdf/Validation%20of%20EXPERIMENTAL%20C%20of%20A.pdf?sectionid=228329&level=2
I also did my homework for the British Virgin Islands.
Eventually got on the phone with the head of civil aviation there. After I
asked him what paperwork he wanted for me to fly my Experimental IV-P to the
BVI. His comment was “There is no impediment to flying your aircraft in
the BVI.” I filed the details with the AOPA and EAA who were not helpful
in telling me what I needed to do.
I don’t know what the Turks and Cacos require, could be
important as Provo is a good fuel stop on the way to the BVI or Puerto Rico.

What issues exist flying a Lancair internationally compared
to a normally certificated a/c? If someone wanted to hop around the
Caribbean would the experimental status of the plane be a problem?
