All Travellers to Bermuda must follow the requirements set-out in the Quarantine (COVID-19) (No. 3) Order 2020.

Test and vaccine documentation must be uploaded to your travel authorization application.

Travel Authorization Applications need to be purchased 1 to 3 days before travel to permit review of the application and supporting vaccine and pre-test documents.

Visitors who do not submit a valid pre-arrival test result will be notified that their test is not valid and will be given the opportunity to submit a valid result. If a visitor cannot submit a valid test result, they will be denied a Travel Authorization and will not be able to travel to Bermuda

Expedited arrival testing is available for vaccinated travellers (both visitor and resident) for $200. This guarantees arrival PCR or antigen test results within four (4) hours. A limited number of expedited tests are available for purchase each day through the travel authorization application form.
