What you need

  • Passport valid for the duration of the intended stay
  • Return or onward travel ticket
  • Proof of accommodation (hotel booking or private address)
  • Sufficient funds for the stay
  • Completed Bahamas immigration/customs arrival form (digital or paper)
  • No visa or biometrics required within the 90-day visa-free period
  • Travel health insurance recommended

Visa types

  • No visa required for tourism visits of up to 90 days, extendable up to 8 months in total for visitors at the discretion of immigration
  • Business visas or work permits require a separate application through Bahamian immigration authorities before travel

Entry conditions

  • Initial stay of up to 90 days for visa-exempt visitors, with extensions available in-country through the Department of Immigration
  • Employment is not permitted on a visitor entry
  • Officers may request proof of onward travel and accommodation on arrival
  • Cruise ship visitors follow separate, typically shorter, stay allowances

Fees & processing time

  • No visa fee for visa-free entry
  • Extension fees at the Department of Immigration in Nassau vary by length requested, typically USD 100-200 for longer extensions
  • No VFS/BLS service required for the visa-free route
  • Entry processing at the airport is typically a few minutes with standard immigration checks

Tips for Hong Kong travelers

  • Carry a printed or digital hotel confirmation, as immigration officers frequently ask for accommodation details
  • If planning to stay beyond 90 days, apply for an extension at the Department of Immigration in Nassau well before the initial period ends
  • There is no Bahamian embassy in Hong Kong; consular support is typically available through UK or Commonwealth missions
  • Direct flights from Hong Kong are limited, so plan connections (often via the US or Canada) and check any transit visa needs for the connecting country
  • Keep some US dollars on hand, as USD is widely accepted alongside the Bahamian Dollar
