Bermuda Passport Visa-Free Countries
Travel with a Bermuda passport
The Bermuda passport is a British passport issued to Bermudian citizens. It is identical to passports issued in other British Overseas Territories, except for minor differences relating to Bermuda.
A citizen of a British Overseas Territory (formerly a citizen of a British Dependent Territory) has British citizenship by virtue of a connection to the British Overseas Territory.
Bermuda passport holders can travel visa-free to the UK. Overall, there are 94 visa-free countries for Bermuda passports. Bermuda citizens can also apply for visas on arrival in 33 countries and e-visas to 15 destinations.
To apply for a Bermuda passport, a person must naturalize as a British Overseas Citizen.
Great opportunities for Bermudian citizens with visa-free travel
Visa exemption offers Bermudians great travel opportunities. First, they can visit more places because there are no visa requirements and they cannot be denied entry.
Such trips are becoming cheaper and cheaper, and even people with modest incomes can go on vacation to another country and explore new places.
Because people who travel without a visa don't have to worry about the application process, they are less stressed, more open in communication, and happier. This allows you to make companions along the way and get to know the locals better.
How to get a Bermudian status
A person can apply for Bermudian status if:
- they have a qualifying connection to Bermuda;
- they are the spouse, widow or widower of a Bermudian;
- they enjoy Bermudian status in certain other circumstances.
Anyone who is not a Commonwealth citizen must naturalize as a British Overseas Territory citizen to gain Bermudian status. However, having Bermuda status does not mean having British citizenship.
After naturalization, a person can apply for a passport. To do this, they must submit the required original documents and two photographs to support the passport application. A candidate may then be interviewed.Click here
