Moving to the Bahamas: frequently asked questions

What do I need to know before moving to the Bahamas?+
When moving to the Bahamas, it’s essential to understand the customs process, import duties, and the best way to pack and ship personal items. Bahamas Customs declares imports in its Click2Clear system and charges duty by HS code, a 1% processing fee and 10% VAT, unless an exemption applies. Returning residents who have lived abroad for two years or more can apply for duty concessions, including on a vehicle valued up to $30,000.
Do I need a visa to move to the Bahamas from the USA?+
You’ll need a valid passport, and in some cases, a visa, depending on the length and purpose of your stay. Contact Bahamian immigration authorities for specific requirements. U.S. citizens need a valid passport to enter the Bahamas, and staying to work long term requires residency or a work permit from Bahamian immigration.
Why move to the Bahamas?+
The Bahamas offers a unique lifestyle, beautiful beaches, and a relaxed atmosphere, making it a popular destination for expatriates. The Bahamas lies within about 50 miles of Florida at its closest point, so a household move from Miami is a short ocean leg.
What’s the Best Way to Move Household Goods to Nassau?+
Sea freight is the most cost-effective for large shipments, while air freight is suitable for smaller, urgent moves. Contact Interwf for assistance in choosing the best option. A 20 ft container holds about 33 m³ and a 40 ft about 67 m³, and LCL suits smaller household loads that do not fill a container.
Are There Items I Can't Bring to the Bahamas?+
Certain items, like firearms and specific foods, are restricted. We can help you review the list of prohibited items before shipping. Firearms and ammunition need a specific license, certain plants, seeds and foods need import permits, and vehicles pay duty plus an environmental levy.
How Long Does the Moving Process to the Bahamas Take?+
Transit times vary depending on the shipping method. Air freight can take a few days, while sea freight may take 2-3 weeks. Customs release through Click2Clear is a separate step from transit, so have the documents ready before the cargo arrives.
