Visa Requirements

Visa requirements

Participants who require a visa to enter the Bahamas should apply for a visa at the nearest consulate or embassy of the Bahamas in their country. There are several Bahamas embassies and consulates around the world where you can apply for a Bahamas visa. In countries where the Bahamas has no diplomatic representation, visas are available through British consulates, embassies or high commissions.

The requirements for the different countries may be found on the Bahamas official web page at: http://www.bahamas.com/entry-requirements.
