The Ministry of Economy and Labour advises the public that, effective 17 July 2025, the Bermuda Immigration and Protection (Prohibition of Entry) Order 2025 has been revoked and replaced with the Bermuda Immigration and Protection (Prohibition of Entry) (No. 2) Order 2025.
The updated Order reflects ongoing immigration policy reviews and adjustments. Since the previous Order issued in January 2025, several changes have been made:
- New additions and removals have been made to the list of countries whose nationals are subject to entry prohibitions.
- Trinidad and Tobago has been added to the list.
- A number of countries—including Armenia, Azerbaijan, Benin, Bhutan, Dominican Republic, Kazakhstan, Philippines, Thailand, and others—have been removed from the list.
- Nationals of Cuba, Haiti, Ukraine, and Venezuela, while still on Bermuda’s Visa Controlled Nationals List, can land in Bermuda with the issuance of a standard work permit, without a visa condition. All other nationals from these countries must obtain a multi re-entry visa in accordance with clause 3 of the Order.

Nationals of the countries listed in the Schedule below are prohibited from entering Bermuda, unless they:
- Possess valid travel authorisation to enter and re-enter Canada, the United Kingdom, or the United States, with such authorisation valid for at least 45 days from their intended departure from Bermuda;
