Do Hong Kong passport holders need a visa to visit BS?
HK ORDINARY (HKSAR) passport holders do NOT need a visa for tourism in the Bahamas and may stay up to 3 months. Entry is granted on arrival; just present a valid passport, return/onward ticket, proof of funds, and a completed Disembarkation/Embarkation Card. The Bahamas grants visa-free entry to holders of Hong Kong SAR (HKSAR) ordinary passports for visits of up to 3 months. This is confirmed by the Hong Kong Immigration Department's official visa-free access list and the Bahamas Immigration Department's entry-requirements pages, and corroborated by IATA-sourced references. No advance visa, eVisa, or electronic travel authorisation is required. The Bahamas is a Caribbean nation and is NOT part of the Schengen Area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply. At the border, travelers must show a passport valid for at least six months, a return or onward ticket, evidence of sufficient funds (or a local sponsor), and a completed Disembarkation/Embarkation Card. Meeting these conditions does not guarantee entry; the final decision rests with the immigration officer. Stays beyond the granted period require a visitor extension applied for in advance through the Department of Immigration. As of 2026-05-30 there are no new eVisa, ETA, or fee changes affecting HKSAR passport holders.
