Currently there is no limit on the number of days each year a person can stay, as long as they do not overstay any one visit (in which case they will not normally be allowed to return without special permission).

There have been people who stay for the maximum period of time, go away for a weekend and return. That was always unnecessary. I am not aware of anyone who has asked the Minister for permission to stay longer who has been denied.

What was this before? Does anyone know?

That is a possibility.

Another possibility is that the PLP Government wants to limit the ability of certain people to remain in Bermuda for any length of time.

Caricom freedom of movement would allow anyone to come here, live and work here, and have access to free healthcare and education. Without any limitation.
The 180 day max would not apply to them.

Looks like the change is being made before Bermuda joins Caricom (despite the PLP denying it) so the free movement of people required by Caricom can be controlled.

Have all the people who travelled on Lawrence Scott’s charter flight got their Bermuda passports sorted yet. Need to get that done to be able to vote.

I thought we wanted people to come here and spend money. More Hayward ignorance…
