Bahamas: o que saber antes da viagem
O essencial
- 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.

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.
Validade do passaporte: Bahamian High Commission London asks for 6 months beyond departure; check the requirement for your passport.
