Bahamas: cosa sapere prima di partire
L’essenziale
- Do not bring firearms, ammunition or cannabis/CBD; accidental possession can still lead to detention.
- A Digital Arrival Card pilot began in May 2026 on selected flights. Follow airline and immigration instructions; do not assume a universal digital requirement.
Ingresso e visti
Bring a passport, onward or return ticket, accommodation details and funds. British tourists are usually admitted visa-free for 30 days, with extensions possible. Requirements differ by passport and residence; check the Bahamian High Commission. Complete the immigration card; selected flights participate in a digital pilot alongside paper processing.
Validità del passaporto: Bahamian High Commission London asks for 6 months beyond departure; check the requirement for your passport.
Alla frontiera possono chiedere
- Keep the immigration card portion required for departure.
Dogana
- Declare restricted or dutiable items.
