CANADIAN RESIDENT (NON-CITIZEN)
To enter The Islands Of The Bahamas, Canadian residents
(and landed Canadian immigrants) who are not Canadian
citizens are required to present the following
documentation:
|
Passport
For visits NOT exceeding 30 days:
A valid national passport accompanied by a Canadian Permanent
Resident Card.
For visits exceeding 30 days:
A valid national passport and a Bahamas visa are required for
Canadian resident non-citizens wishing to stay longer than 30
days.
Note: Persons are advised to purchase return tickets (and seek
reimbursement upon returning home for the unused ticket), even
when they are certain to return via a private boat – the chance
of an airline/cruise line ticket agent allowing travel on a
single ticket is very slim. If, however, the person gets to the
point of Bahamas Immigration on a single ticket, the Captain of
the boat would have to present himself and the cruising permit.
However, a copy of the cruising permit will be permitted for
crew members, who may be arriving by plane and returning by boat
as their names will appear on the manifest. A letter will not
suffice
OTHER COUNTRIES
To enter The Bahamas, citizens from countries other than the
U.S. and Canada are required to present a valid passport which
must be current up to your travel period and some countries are
also required to have a Bahamas visa. If you are departing
The Bahamas for a country that has the passport validity
requirement of six (6) months beyond the dates of travel, then
that requirement will be enforced. You must also have a return,
or onward journey ticket, and proof of funds to support your
visit. To view the entry requirements for your country of birth,
please download the pdf below .
NOTE: If you are using an electronic ticket, please show
Immigration a copy of your travel itinerary and ticket number.
PASSPORT
refers to a valid passport from the individual's country of
birth.
VISA
refers to a Bahamas visa only. If a person is born in one
country and resident in another (other than the U.S. or Canada),
the documentation required is based upon the country of birth.
