Can a US citizen move to Bermuda?

Yes, but only with a work permit or under one of Bermuda’s limited residency programmes. As a US citizen, you can stay up to 180 days a year as a visitor without a visa. Long-term residence requires either an employment-sponsored work permit (Bermuda’s most common route, tied to a specific job offer with an employer who proves no qualified Bermudian was available) or, for retirees and remote workers, the Economic Investment Certificate or Work From Bermuda Certificate (a one-year remote-work visa renewable annually, requiring $263 application fee and proof of substantial annual income). Permanent residency is rare and not connected to property ownership. Bermudian status (full citizenship) is restricted by descent and very limited naturalisation routes.
