“and then ask if you’ve ever visited Bermuda before….completely missing the part that says I was born in Bermuda”

Really? I’ve never experienced that.

Bermuda immigration officers will read your passport, scan it, and then ask if you’ve ever visited Bermuda before….completely missing the part that says I was born in Bermuda.
What other mistakes to they make, daily?

US customs departure at LF Wade is a far superior for travelers, than the lowly Bermuda Immigration arrival

Bermuda immigration arrival is Slow. Long lines. Too many weird questions you don’t know how to precisely answer and then officers are poorly trained.
Nothing is automated. Im supposed to pull up my pink form arrival card QR code while roaming on low battery on my phone in the “no phones” customs hall. Sorry, not QR code, but an email PDF of the form! Ha.

US customs has regularly been smooth. Efficient automated. You almost Don’t even need Global Entry or Mobile passport. The booth officer is just as fast. If you’re in the hall ; they will process you even if it’s time for them to close for the day. So forget that 3hrs prior to departure time. You’re not competing with every other international flight like at high traffic JFK. The privilege of pre clearance. !!

The challenge is if you get stuck behind a few flights all at once. There are peak hours and times of year. But generally it’s good. Well staffed. They know how to look for nefarious actors.

Bermuda Immigration at LF Wade — guilty first , then an eye roll once they can’t find a thing on you.

Mobile passport technology for border clearance is a good thing. Come on Bermuda Immigration – what are your 2023 LF Wade upgrades? —- 12 automated passport scan turnstiles. They have them in Asia.

Seems us Bermudian travelers can’t use it big I read the mpc elagbility line correct ( neither am I a us citizen a lawful resident nor a Canadian b1 or b2 ). I hope I have mis interpreted the requirements

This seems extremely complicated; it’s not difficult to get into and out of Bermuda. I’m not sure how this would help and it would be more time-consuming to try and figure out how and when to use this.
