Citizens of Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates have been taken off the list of travellers requiring visas for Bermuda.

The list was amended through the Bermuda Immigration and Protection (Prohibition of Entry) Order 2025, a government spokesman said.

The order was signed by Jason Hayward, the Minister of Economy and Labour.

Nationals of the countries provided in a schedule to the order are prohibited from entering Bermuda unless one of the following applies:

• The individual has travel authorisation to enter and re-enter Canada, Britain, or the United States, with the authorisation being valid for 45 days from the date of intended departure from Bermuda

• The individual produces a letter issued by the government attesting that the person is a spouse of a Bermudian or belongs to Bermuda

Citizens of the People’s Republic of China, Indonesia, South Africa, Taiwan, Turkey and Vietnam are included in the list of those subject to exceptions, while Colombia has been added, the spokesman said.
