Isn’t that the point of Brexit, GB not wanting free movement into their country so why would the EU want to now give the Brits free movement into the EU? The divorce is done and there really is no going back.

Unfortunately, for Bermudians, we did not even get to vote on the deal! The British Government never involved the Overseas Territories in discussions on EU exit to ensure their interests were taken into account. We are a mere colony with no say!

For many EU countries yes, the description is correct, the Bermudian passport is accepted just as a UK passport. However, for some countries – e.g. Italy and I believe Spain, a Bermuda passport is not enough for free entry and a visa is required.

It has always escaped me why – when Paula Cox was Finance Minister – she sadly failed to tackle this disparity even while negotiating various memorandums of agreements with regard to the exchange of tax information with Italy and other countries. Her inaction on Bermudians’ freedom of movement within the EU really was a lost opportunity.

It is understood that Government House has subsequently sought to address this disparity, but Brexit now seems to have overtaken any progress. Despite Mrs May’s apparent reluctance to address matters relating to freedom of movement, some sense will prevail and British nationals AND British Overseas Territory Citizens – including Bermudians – will eventually be allowed free access throughout all of the EU.
