Great opportunities for Bermudian citizens with visa-free travel
Visa exemption provides Bermudians with excellent travel opportunities. Firstly, they can see much more places, as they are not bound by visa requirements and can't be entry-denied.
Such trips become cheaper, and even people with a not high income can afford to go on vacation in another country and explore new locations.
As people who travel visa-free don't have to experience application hassle, they are not stressed, are more open to communication and cheerful. It allows to make travel mates along the way and get to know locals better.
How to get a Bermudian status
A person can apply for Bermudian status if:
- they possess a Qualifying Bermudian Connection;
- they are a spouse, widow, or widower of a Bermudian;
- they have the right to Bermudian status in certain other cases.
Any person who is not a Commonwealth citizen must be naturalized as a British Overseas Territories Citizen in order to get Bermudian status. Acquisition of Bermudian status does not mean British nationality, though.
Following naturalization, a person may apply for a passport. In order to do that, they should present the required original documents and two photographs in support of the passport application. Then an applicant may be interviewed.
