Notes
Closed on 28 February 2025. No new applications are accepted. Each certificate lasted 12 months from the issue date and cost BMD 275 per person, including each family member, who had to apply separately. The Bermuda dollar is at par with the US dollar, so that fee is USD 275. Renewal for a further year was case by case and not guaranteed. There was no published income minimum: applicants had to show substantial means or a continuous income, plus work for a company outside Bermuda, or school enrolment for students. Working for a Bermuda employer was not allowed. The government said holders would not pay Bermuda income tax because they were not employed on the island. After expiry, holders have 90 days to leave. Permission to Reside on an Annual Basis is a separate residency permission and does not allow work in Bermuda.
