LOL…ooooh…a couple of people have inquired?

Do you have fast, reliable and inexpensive internet access yet?
Once you have that, then maybe you’ll be able to attract some “people”…hope they’re not gay though, you don’t want that!

Who cares who they copied it from? Frankly Bermuda is much closer to US hubs and therefore the idea makes more sense, particularly because we have controlled COVID so well. We have already had a couple of inquiries from people looking to come and if they are calling us they aren’t billionaires.

Sounds perfectly feasible. One day this week; one day next; have a break …
It will be the same as for ordinary permits.

Why has the fee been set at $263 for a permit? Wouldn’t even cover the admin costs. Another loss maker for Government.

Typical….not even Bermudas ideas, have to copy everyone else.

This will only work if there is Inexpensive, reliable and fast internet access…none of these things is available in Bermuda.

Even the wealthy will be scared off after they see the price of living in Bermuda. Useless move PLP.

So why can’t we offer the same thing but for 5 or 10 years???? Now that’s a solution!

Excellent. Good first step. Done quickly which is even better.
Actually positive that we’re mirrored Barbados who moved first on this front.
New ideas, copying others, blue sky concepts. All are what we need and need quickly.
Now, implement more please government. Ten or twelve ideas rapidly in succession. Some will work and some won’t. Will not be a problem. The problem will be inertia and doing nothing else.

I’m more surprised that they’re actually doing something sensible for once.

They must have some friends who want to hang out in Bermuda for a year. Amazing how fast they can work when they want to isn’t it.
