The U.S. Consulate General, Hamilton, Bermuda has resumed scheduling visa appointments via our online system.
Please follow the guidance for the visa you intend to apply for. Please note that we can only accept visa appointment requests from Bermudians, Bermuda residents, or individuals physically present in our consular district. The provisions of 22 CFR 41.101(a) preclude acceptance or processing of a regular nonimmigrant visa application when the applicant is neither resident of nor physically present in this consular district at the time of application, including completion and submission of the DS-160.
A citizen of a foreign country who seeks to enter the United States generally must first obtain a U.S. visa, which is placed in the traveler’s passport.
Citizens of Bermuda traveling to the United States do not require a nonimmigrant visa for travel up to 180 days, except for the travel purposes described at the following website: Visa Requirements – Citizens of Bermuda. Additionally, Bermudian citizens do not require a visa unless they are ineligible for a visa under U.S. immigration law, or have previously violated the terms of their immigration status in the U.S.
Certain international travelers may be eligible to travel to the United States without a visa under the Visa Waiver Program, which is administered by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
The Visa section of this website is about U.S. visas for foreign citizens and nationals to travel to the United States.
Visit Travel.State.gov for additional information.
Note: U.S. citizens do not need a U.S. visa for travel to the United States. When planning travel abroad a U.S. citizen may need a visa issued by the embassy or consulate of the country they wish to visit.
For short-term visits to the United States (for tourism, business, education, and more), you can go directly to the online application (form DS-160). For immigrant visas, which are issued to foreign nationals who intend to live and work permanently in the United States, you can visit the U.S. citizenship and Immigration Services site for the relevant forms. If you are unsure what type of visa you need, please use the Visa Wizard below.

The pamphlet linked below informs you of your rights as a nonimmigrant visa holder in certain employment- and education-based categories.
Rights and Protections for Immigrant Visa Applicants
The pamphlet informs applicants applying for K-1 visas, K-3, IR-1/CR-1 immigrant visas, and F2A immigrant visas of their legal rights relating to domestic violence, sexual assault, and child abuse.
The Visa Waiver Program (VWP) enables most citizens or nationals of participating countries to travel to the United States for tourism or business for stays of 90 days or less without obtaining a visa.
Waivers for Criminal Convictions & Ineligibilities
Persons convicted of certain crimes, including drug use, and those who violate U.S. immigration law are inadmissible to the United States. They must obtain a waiver of their ineligibility to enter the United States. At the present time, U.S. law states that any foreign national of any country, not just Bermuda, who has committed an excludable offense under the U.S. Immigration and Nationality Act remains permanently ineligible to enter the United States. There is currently no provision in U.S. law to overcome this ineligibility due to the issuance of a “Certificate of Rehabilitation” or any other such document.
