Note: From January 23 2007 (previously January 8) the first stage of the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative kicks in. This requires those travelling betwen the US and Bermuda to have a valid passport, regardless of citizenship. This is a US requirement.
Visitors from all countries, with the exception of the US and Canada, must present a valid passport to ensure entry into Bermuda.

Reviews / Comments / Additional Information
for citizens of United States and/or US permanent resident card for a stay up to 180 days. How come in your website which is stated above that visitor length of stay are permitted to stay for up to 21 days. Kindly, elaborate/explain more about this and what will a toruist/visitor will do to avail a 180 days of stay.
This information is obviously outdated.
