Just a note on my recent experience with figuring out the visa system for Bermuda. I was planning to go, but finally decided against going because of schedule clashes, but the visa process is outlined here for you anyway. To describe it in one word: Confusing This is what the Bermuda department of immigration website says
- Indian citizens are on the Visa Nationals list. I.e. we require visas.
- Indian citizens can arrive in Bermuda without a visa if they have either a) US Green Card, b) Canada Green Card or c) Indefinite Leave to remain in the UK
- We can get a "visa waiver" if we have any other multiple entry visa to the UK, USA or Canada (and are flying to Bermuda from one of those countries & returning to one of them as well). This includes visas such as (but not limited to) H1, L1, B1, UK Tier 1, UK Tier 2, Student visas, Multiple Entry Tourist visas, Canada Temporary Resident visa etc.
- We need to pay a $200 per head visa waiver fee -- which is preposterous in my opinion
- Indian citizens are not on the Visa Nationals list. I.e. We do not need visas at all.
- And also, very confusingly, we still somehow need multiple entry visas to US/Canada/UK.
- No clarity on the $200 visa waiver fee

Bermuda was horrible experience, my wife paid more than $200 to get the visa there. NEver again. Bahamas any day! $50 and you don't even have to apply in person.
Thanks for sharing, Praz. Useful to know the price.
we went to bermuda2 yrs ago mainly bcause berm didnt need indians to get a visa beforehand. there is no fee either.i had EAD/AP and wife on H1b. on arrival the officer asked what we do and our hotel reservations and stamped 15days.. it was very easy....
Thanks for sharing! Interesting that we have 2 conflicting experiences shared here. Looks like there is no clear guideline around the $200 waiver fee.
