Is that all you got. I voted PLP,however I’m in agreement with Mr Dunkley on this TA form being eliminated. No Bermudian returning home should have to go through this.

It’s a stealth tax…plain and simple, and not that stealthy.

Secondly, I’ll take you to task on the from itself. Travelling with a family, the same data has to be uploaded, cc information, multiple times on different forms. It needs to facilitate all of those travelling on one form, with one payment. Try doing that on a smartphone, typos, fat fingering, leading to delay etc etc. I appreciate it was built in a rush to meet a need, but time for it to go.

The immigration form went long ago. Unnecessary with smart passports.

Sorry, but that is a totally racist answer. Try actually discussing the issue.

Of course. The champagne socialist can’t see a problem with paying an extra $40 per person and spending a wasted hour on the computer for absolutely nothing.
Of course, last week, even that wasn’t good enough, because the TAF website was down and phoning government civil servants got the usual level of service (i.e. NONE).

And if you have a family of 4, planning to visit Bermuda, it isn’t $40; it’s $160 added to your travel costs for absolutely nothing. No extra safety, no better service, nothing. But Bermudians think that’s all fine. That is why Tourism is in the crapper, and that is why we have thousands unemployed. Poor decisions by stupid politicians.

is the issue the form, the $40 or both?
Personally, the form isn’t a problem for me as the information is everything that used to be included on the immigration form save for the testing/vaccine information, which is not that laborious to upload.
Yes this weekend there seems to be a technical glitch, and that is very problematic, but when things are going correctly, which is most of the time, then there is little to no issue for the traveler.
Also, i think there is a bit of faux outrage over the $40 fee as I am sure most people can afford an extra $40 and should just factor that into their travel budget. I am sure if their airfare was increase $40 to account for it, they would still pay it.

I agree. It’s stupid and unnecessary. Getting through the airport has become another ridiculous waste of time, like every single interaction with any part of the Bermuda Government or the Bermuda civil service.
Bermuda isn’t governed any more. There is no leadership whatsoever. Civil servants treat the public, who pay their frikin wages, like crap.
Bermuda is becoming becoming a tin pot joke.
