After more than two years, Bermuda has lifted its strict COVID-19 rules for international arrivals.
Until now, all visitors had to show a negative pre-departure test, and unvaccinated travellers also had to take a test four days after arrival.
As of today, Bermuda has dropped its requirement for pre-departure testing, arrival testing, and day-four testing. From 14 November, the territory will also drop the requirement to apply for a Travel Authorisation and to provide proof of vaccination or medical insurance. The pre-pandemic digital Bermuda Arrival Card form has been reinstated in its place.
Why Bermuda should be on your travel bucket list
With its iconic pink sand beaches and teeming reefs, Bermuda is a firm favourite among holidaymakers from the US, Canada and Europe. In 2019, tourist spending brought €560 million to the island. With COVID restrictions in place, this plummeted to €72m in 2020.
Despite dwindling visitor numbers, Bermuda’s tourism industry didn’t rest during the pandemic. New hotels, including St Regis Bermuda, cropped up while grande dame Cambridge Beaches took the opportunity to have a multi-million-dollar facelift.
