Some participants require a visa to enter Bermuda. Please ensure you apply to the nearest British embassy in your country.

Please visit the Department of Immigration website at www.gov.bm for additional information and other countries that may not be listed below.

Holders of British National (Overseas) passports do NOT require visas for Bermuda. Visa controlled nationals do NOT require entry visas if you have the right to reside in the US, UK (no limit on stay) or Canada and are in possession of proof of such status and a valid passport.

Participants may also require a visa to enter the United States or Canada. We recommend that once you are registered you apply immediately for your visa as in some countries the procedure may take some time (usually 6-8 weeks). An individual invitation letter will be issued for confirmed participants upon request.
