Bermuda Government Ditching Travel Form Sooner Than Planned
The Bermuda government will be ditching its travel authorization form and associated $40 fee sooner than planned. Instead of being removed on November 30th, the process will now end on November 13th.
This also means that visitors to Bermuda will no longer need to provide proof of vaccination or medical insurance.
Starting November 14th, the country will reinstate the Bermuda Arrival Card, which is an online form that visitors fill out to present to immigration. The Arrival Card is free and does not go through any kind of approval process.
This past spring, the Bermuda government rejected a call to end the authorization process early, saying that it needed the money generated by the fee. Revenue from the fee was estimated at $22 million for the 2022 fiscal year.
