Bermuda Work From Bermuda Ended in 2025: What Remote Workers Should Track Now

Checked against Government of Bermuda source material on August 13, 2026.

Bermuda's Work From Bermuda initiative is no longer open.

The Government of Bermuda says the initiative officially concluded on February 28, 2025. It also says no more Work From Bermuda applications are accepted from that date.

If you held a Work From Bermuda certificate, the government page says certificate holders have 90 days from certificate expiration to settle affairs and depart Bermuda. The same page says eligible people who want to remain may apply for Permission to Reside on an Annual Basis, with applications submitted one to two months before the Work From Bermuda certificate expires.

Is Work From Bermuda still open?

No.

The Government of Bermuda's Work From Bermuda page says the initiative concluded on February 28, 2025 and that no more applications are accepted as of that date.

That is the main answer for remote workers who still find older Work From Bermuda articles in search results.

Do not use an old digital-nomad visa list as your source. Use the current Government of Bermuda page.

What if you already had a Work From Bermuda certificate?

The government page gives existing certificate holders a departure window tied to certificate expiration.

It says current Work From Bermuda certificate holders have 90 days from the date their certificate expires to settle affairs and depart Bermuda.

Keep these dates together:

• certificate issue date
• certificate expiry date
• 90-day post-expiry window
• actual Bermuda arrival and departure dates
• passport expiry
• any government correspondence
• source checked date

Do not let the certificate expiry date and the physical departure deadline collapse into one mental note. They answer different questions.

Is Permission to Reside on an Annual Basis a replacement?

Do not treat it as a simple replacement for Work From Bermuda.

The government page says people who wish to remain in Bermuda may apply for Permission to Reside on an Annual Basis if they meet eligibility requirements. It also says applications should be submitted one to two months before the Work From Bermuda certificate expires and that permission may be granted for up to five years.

That is not the same as saying every remote worker qualifies, that approval is likely, or that the route has the same conditions as Work From Bermuda.

If this route matters to you, go to the current government forms and get qualified advice before acting.

What should remote workers track now?

Track the status you actually have, not the status you hoped would exist.

Useful records include:

• current visa or permission category
• application date, if applying for another route
• approval or refusal date
• permitted stay period
• expiry date
• departure deadline
• Bermuda entry and exit dates
• employer or work-status notes, if a professional asks for them
• source links used for each decision

The risk is bigger than missing a date. It is mixing an ended programme with a different permission route and assuming the rules match.

What should you avoid assuming?

Avoid these shortcuts:

• "Work From Bermuda is still accepting applications."
• "Permission to Reside on an Annual Basis is the new Work From Bermuda."
• "An old certificate means I can ignore the 90-day window."
• "A remote-worker visa article from 2021 is current enough."
• "Jetseen can tell me whether Bermuda will approve a stay."

Bermuda's source page is clear enough on the main point: Work From Bermuda ended.

Where Jetseen fits

Use Jetseen to keep the record organized around your actual status.

• set alerts before expiry and departure-window dates
• keep Annual Basis notes separate from Work From Bermuda notes
• export CSV records for personal or professional review
