Bermuda

This information is for people travelling on a full ‘British citizen’ passport from the UK. It is based on the UK government’s understanding of Bermuda’s current rules for the most common types of travel.

The authorities in Bermuda set and enforce entry rules. If you’re not sure how these requirements apply to you, contact the Government of Bermuda London Office.

Passport validity requirements

To enter Bermuda, your passport must be valid for the duration of your stay and have space for entry and exit stamps.

Check with your travel provider that your passport and other travel documents meet requirements. Renew your passport if you need to.

You will be denied entry if you do not have a valid travel document or try to use a passport that has been reported lost or stolen.

Visa requirements

You can visit Bermuda without a visa for up to 180 days in any 12-month period. You must have a ticket for return or onward travel.

To stay longer or work, study, travel for business or other reasons, you must meet the Bermudian government’s entry requirements. 

If you want to work in Bermuda, you must get a job offer and work permit before you enter the country. You must not look for work while visiting as a tourist.

Checks at border control

At Bermudian border control, you may need to show:

• a return or onward ticket
• proof of your accommodation, for example, a hotel booking confirmation

Arrival card

Visitors must complete a Bermuda arrival card. Once you’ve completed the card, download it to show immigration officials. You can also complete a paper copy when you arrive in Bermuda. You do not have to complete a card if you arrive on a cruise ship.

Vaccine requirements

For details about medical entry requirements and recommended vaccinations, see TravelHealthPro’s Bermuda guide.

Customs rules

There are strict rules about goods you can take into or out of Bermuda. You must declare anything that may be prohibited or subject to tax or duty.

Taking money into Bermuda

You must declare cash, travellers cheques and other forms of payment if the value is more than 10,000 Bermuda dollars.

Medication

Make sure you carry any medication in the prescribed packaging and bring the prescription. See rules on prohibited and restricted goods.

The Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) cannot provide tailored advice for individual trips. Read this travel advice and carry out your own research before deciding whether to travel.

Bermuda is a British Overseas Territory, so there is no British Embassy, and the Bermuda government will support you if you need help.

Contact your travel provider and insurer
