Crew Requirements

All crew arriving October 25 2022 onwards will no longer require a pre-travel test, arrival test nor a day 4 test.

 

Effective November 14, 2022:

Effective November 14 2022, travel authorizations will no longer be required to enter Bermuda. Visitors travelling to Bermuda from November 14 onwards do not need to apply for a travel authorization. In its place, the Bermuda Tourism Authority (BTA) will reinstate the Bermuda Arrival Card, a digital form for visitors only, which was in place before the onset of the pandemic.

 

 The online visitor arrivals process can be completed in three easy steps.

 

1. Go to www.BermudaArrivalCard.com
   

    

2. Complete the form accurately and completely with visitor details
   

    

3. Download the form and present it to immigration officials for inspection
   

    

There is no approval process, no fee, and once the required fields have been completed, the form is available as a downloadable link or by email. All non-residents who travel to Bermuda as of November 14 must complete the Bermuda Arrival Card even if they have previously completed a travel authorisation form. Hard copy ‘Pink Forms’ will be available for non-resident travellers who have not completed the digital Bermuda Arrival Card. There is no need to accept a ‘Pink Form’ if you have completed the digital form.  

Effective October 25, 2022
