Bermuda


This advice has been reviewed and reissued. The overall level of the advice has not changed.
Bermuda is a British Overseas Territory. There is no formal British diplomatic or consular representation. Due to Bermuda’s status as a British Overseas Territory the local authorities deal with all requests for consular-type assistance. See the Entry Requirements, Health and General sections of this advice for more details.


Most visits to Bermuda are trouble-free. There is a moderate crime rate, you should take sensible precautions.


The possession, or importation, of drugs and weapons (including air pistols and catapults) is illegal. Those caught will be prosecuted and the penalties can be severe.


The hurricane season in Bermuda runs from June to November. See the Natural Disasters section of this advice and Hurricanes for more details.


There is a low threat from terrorism. But you should be aware of the global risk of indiscriminate terrorist attacks which could be in public areas, including those frequented by expatriates and foreign travellers.


British passport holders do not require visas to enter Bermuda as a visitor but accommodation must be booked prior to arrival. For visa enquiries, non-British passport holders should contact the Identity and Passport Service at the Home Office on 020 7901 2033/2204 during office hours (0900-1700).
