Bermuda Arrival Card

Purpose: The Bermuda Arrival Card is a mandatory digital form for all non-residents to provide required immigration, customs, and statistical information to the Bermuda Tourism Authority and Department of Immigration.

When to apply: It’s recommended to complete the form online anytime before departure, ideally within 48 hours of travel.

Duration and extensions: The card itself doesn't grant a stay; visitors are typically granted entry for up to 90 days (extendable to 180 days) by immigration officials at the port of entry. Extensions must be requested in person at the Department of Immigration in Hamilton.

Entries: A new Arrival Card is required for every entry into Bermuda.

Ports of entry: Mandatory for all non-residents arriving by air at L.F. Wade International Airport (BDA) or by private yacht at designated customs docks. Cruise ship passengers are currently exempt.

Delivery format: Upon successful submission, a PDF confirmation is sent via email. Travelers must present a digital or printed copy of this confirmation to immigration officers upon arrival.

UK Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA)

Purpose: The UK Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) is a mandatory digital travel authorization for visa-exempt nationals traveling to the United Kingdom for tourism, business meetings, short-term study, or transit.

When to apply: It’s recommended to apply at least a few days before your travel date. Most travelers receive a decision quickly, but applying in advance is advised.

Duration and extensions: The UK ETA is not extendable. If the validity period lapses or if you change passports, you will need to apply for a new UK ETA

Entries: Multiple entries, as long as the ETA and the passport it’s linked to remain valid.

Ports of entry: Any official United Kingdom port of entry.

Delivery format: An approved ETA is electronically linked to your passport and exists only as a digital record, without any physical document, sticker, stamp, or visa vignette.

UK Standard Visitor Visa

Purpose: The UK Standard Visitor Visa allows eligible travelers to visit the United Kingdom for tourism, business meetings, short courses, or family visits. A valid multiple-entry UK visa that has already been used to enter the UK may also allow entry to the British Virgin Islands for short stays.

When to apply: It’s recommended to apply at least 4 to 6 weeks before your planned travel date.

Duration and extensions: The visa is typically valid for 6 months, 2 years, 5 years, or 10 years, depending on what is granted. Each visit is generally limited to up to 6 months.

Entries: Issued as a multiple-entry visa.

Ports of entry: Any official United Kingdom port of entry.

Delivery format: This is a physical visa vignette placed in your passport. Applicants must attend a biometric appointment as part of the process.

Bermuda Entry Visa (Multiple Re-entry Visa)*

Bermuda doesn't issue its own visitor visas. Instead, nationals from "visa-controlled" countries must possess a valid Multiple Re-entry Visa (MRV) for the USA, Canada, or the UK. This MRV must be valid for at least 45 days beyond the intended departure date from Bermuda. It’s for tourists and business travelers who'd otherwise require a visa to enter those gateway countries.

*We currently don’t offer this visa.

Standard Work Permit*

This is the primary permit for foreign nationals seeking employment in Bermuda. It’s typically issued for periods of one to five years and is employer-sponsored.

*We currently don’t offer this permit.

Short-Term Work Permit*

This is for temporary employment needs lasting up to six months. It’s used for specific projects, seasonal work, or training. It can be extended for an additional six months in certain circumstances.

*We currently don’t offer this permit.

Periodic Work Permit*

This allows non-residents employed overseas to work in Bermuda for specific, recurring short periods (e.g., consultants or technicians). Each visit is limited to 30 days, though the permit itself may be valid for a longer duration. No local advertising is required for this permit.

*We currently don’t offer this permit.

Global Entrepreneur Work Permit (GE Permit)*

This is for individuals looking to start a new exempted company or startup in Bermuda. It allows the holder to reside on the island for one year while laying the groundwork for their business, such as seeking regulatory approvals or raising capital.

*We currently don’t offer this permit.

Work From Bermuda Certificate (Digital Nomad Visa)*

This certificate is for remote workers and students who want to live in Bermuda while working or studying for an organization located outside the island. It’s for individuals over 18 with a clean criminal record and valid health insurance. It’s valid for one year and is renewable on a case-by-case basis.

*We currently don’t offer this visa.

Economic Investment Residential Certificate (EIRC)*

This is for high-net-worth individuals who make a qualifying investment of a set amount in Bermuda (e.g., in real estate, government bonds, or a local business). It grants the holder and their dependents the right to reside in Bermuda indefinitely, provided the investment is maintained for at least five years.

*We currently don’t offer this permit.

Permanent Resident's Certificate (PRC)*

This is a long-term status for individuals who've been ordinarily resident in Bermuda for a significant period (typically 15 to 20 years, depending on the category). It grants the right to live and work in Bermuda indefinitely without a work permit, though it doesn't confer Bermudian status or voting rights.

*We currently don’t offer this permit.

Bermuda visa policy

Most foreign nationals, including US citizens, don't require a visa for traveling to Bermuda for tourism or business for stays up to 90 days. Bermuda doesn't issue its own entry visas; instead, travelers from visa-controlled countries must hold a valid multiple-entry visa (MRV) from the US, UK, or Canada. Citizens of the US, UK, and Canada are exempt from this requirement.

Travelers entering Bermuda by air or private yacht are required to complete a mandatory Bermuda Arrival Card before departure.

General Bermuda entry requirements are:

  • Passport valid for at least 45 days beyond the intended date of departure

  • Travel details (such as return flight information and accommodation address)

  • Proof of sufficient financial means for the duration of stay

  • Valid multiple-entry visa for the US, UK, or Canada (only for citizens of visa-controlled countries)

FAQs

Bermuda does not issue its own visas. Instead, if you're not from a visa-exempt country, you’ll need to present a valid, multiple-entry visa for the United Kingdom, United States, or Canada, valid for at least 45 days beyond your planned Bermuda departure. If you don’t meet these conditions, you won’t be allowed entry.

The maximum stay for visitors is 180 days per calendar year. However, immigration officers may issue a shorter stay depending on your accommodation booking, return flight, or purpose of travel. If you’re unclear, you can contact us on WhatsApp – we're available 24/7.

You should complete your Bermuda Arrival Card at least 24–72 hours before travel. If you require a UK, US, or Canada visa, apply at least two months in advance, as processing times can vary by country and visa type.

You don't require a UK ETA as a visa-exempt traveler. However, you must still complete the Bermuda Arrival Card.

Yes. If you’re not visa-exempt, you can use a valid US or Canadian multiple-entry visa (such as a B1/B2, F1 with a valid I-20, or Canadian visitor visa) to enter Bermuda. The visa must be valid for at least 45 days beyond your intended departure date. Electronic travel authorizations (US ESTA or Canadian ETA) are not required if you're already visa-exempt for Bermuda.

No. Visitor entry does not permit employment or study. You must apply in advance for the correct permit or visa. Work permits must be sponsored by a Bermuda-based employer. Student permits must be approved through a Bermuda institution and the immigration department.

Our team of iVisa experts will review your documents to make sure you have the best chance of being approved. We then send it to the government for processing on your behalf. Once approved, we’ll then email you your document. In the meantime, download the iVisa app, so you can access your travel documents while you're on the go.
