Bermuda amends visa controlled nationals list
The island’s list of travellers subject to visa controls has been amended, with citizens from Colombia and Qatar dropped.
Jason Hayward, the Minister of Economy and Labour, told the House of Assembly that a string of other countries had been classed as “exceptions”, meaning that Britain had ruled that travellers under special circumstances, such as emergency travel, no longer needed a visa to enter the UK.
Ordinary nationals from the listed countries still require a visa for Britain.
Bermuda’s list states the travellers seeking to land on the island who are required to hold a multi re-entry visa for the US, Britain or Canada valid for 45 days from their intended departure from Bermuda.
The island’s list was updated last August with the Bermuda Immigration and Protection (Prohibition of Entry) Order 2023.
The ten countries listed as exceptions are Bahrain, the People’s Republic of China, Indonesia, Kuwait, Oman, South Africa, Taiwan, Turkey, the United Arab Emirates and Vietnam.
Mr Hayward said the updated list had been gazetted by the Government on Wednesday.
