Bermuda has adjusted its entry requirements for citizens of Trinidad and Tobago under the new Prohibition of Entry Order. While the two nations technically maintain a visa-free relationship, the lack of direct flights means travelers must now prove they have the right to transit through the US, UK, or Canada. This change aligns Bermuda’s border policy with recent international transit shifts.

Who is affected

This policy impacts every traveler holding a Trinidad and Tobago passport, including tourists, expats, and digital nomads. Remote workers planning a long-term stay in Bermuda need to be particularly careful about their paperwork. Because you cannot fly directly between the two islands, your ability to enter Bermuda is now tied to the validity of your transit visas for North America or the United Kingdom.

Logistics and requirements

If you are planning a trip, you must meet one of these two conditions to clear immigration:

  • Hold a valid multi-entry visa for the US, Canada, or the UK that remains valid for at least 45 days after your intended departure from Bermuda.
  • Provide an official letter from the Bermuda Government confirming you are a spouse of a Bermudian or have specific constitutional ties to the island.

Beyond these transit rules, keep in mind that Bermuda also tightened its work permit and residency policies in late 2025. These updates introduce stricter hiring rules for expats and clearer paths for annual residency. If you are heading there for work, ensure your employment contract is finalized and your transit authorizations are well within the 45-day buffer.
