Income requirements

    Self-attestation of remote work; no codified threshold

    No statutory income floor. Bermuda assumes applicants self-fund (cost of living among world's highest).

    Tax treatment

    • Becomes tax resident: Bermuda has no PIT; tax residency irrelevant for income
    • Special regime: Zero PIT
    • Foreign income: No income tax. 1% payroll tax for employers; consumption taxes apply.

    Zero-PIT zone. Recent OECD Pillar 2 implementation (2025) targets 15% corporate tax on large multinationals only — does not affect individuals.

    Remote work requirements

    • Must work for foreign employer: Yes
    • Local clients allowed: No
    • Local employment allowed: No
    • Self-employed accepted: Yes
    • Salaried vs freelance: both

    Family inclusion

    • Spouse: Yes
    • Children under 18: Yes
    • Dependent adult children: No
    • Parents dependent: No

    Family members covered under single application.

    Path to PR & citizenship

    Permanent residency

    • Available: No

    Work from Bermuda does NOT lead to PR. Bermuda PR (Permanent Resident's Certificate) requires 20+ years residence under separate scheme.

    Citizenship

    • Available: No

    British Overseas Territory citizenship via Bermudian status — extremely restricted; not for DNV holders.

    Eligibility requirements

    • Age 18+
    • Active remote employment or self-employment for non-Bermuda entity
    • Clean criminal record
    • Health insurance valid in Bermuda
    • Bermuda accommodation

    Disqualifiers

    • Bermuda employer
    • Sub-USD-coverage health insurance

    Recent changes

    1. 2020-08

      Bermuda 'Work from Bermuda' certificate launched — one of the first nomad stamps.

    2. 2024-2025

      Programme stable; renewable indefinitely in practice.

    Notes

    Bermuda DNV = zero PIT + indefinite renewability + Atlantic location. Drawback: cost of living among world's highest (Bermuda ranks #1-3 in cost-of-living indexes; rents USD 4-8K/mo). Best for HNW remote workers.
