New visa rules introduced
May 14th, 2010Nationals of more countries now require visas to visit Bermuda.
The new rules, effective May 1 2010, now require citizens of countries such as South Africa, India, Panama, Philippines, Turkey, and the Dominican Republic to obtain visas to enter the country.
The move has prompted much criticism in the media and throughout the tourism industry as it was not widely announced.
Some cruise passengers who had booked trips months before the regulations came into force were reportedly unable to come ashore when their ships docked.
