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.
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.
