關於百慕大公民身份和居留權

百慕大 is a British Overseas Territory that operates under UK Common Law.  The country benefits from a favorable tax regime. Individuals in Bermuda do not pay personal income tax. Instead, the Government of Bermuda levies a Payroll Tax.

可以獲得安提瓜和巴布達公民身份和護照的投資選擇。 

一旦申請人在百慕大居住十年，他們可能有資格申請百慕大公民身份，從而成為英國海外領土公民。入籍規則因個人情況和與國家的關係而異。

A. 經濟投資證書（EIC）

It provides you and your family the opportunity of living and work on the island for five years to see your investment prospects realized. After which, you are eligible to apply for the Residential Certificate for the right to reside in Bermuda indefinitely.

要求和資格

要獲得經濟投資證書 (EIC) 的資格，申請人必須在以下一個或多個類別中進行至少 BM$250 萬的“合格投資”：

– Residential or commercial real estate in Bermuda;

– An existing Bermuda-based business;

– The development and launch of a new Bermuda-based business;

– Bermuda Government bonds;

– Bermuda Registered charity in the areas of sports development, youth, seniors, and health;

– The Bermuda Trust Fund or Sinking Fund; or

– Other social or useful venture that benefits Bermuda, Bermudians, and things Bermudian may be determined by the Minister responsible for Immigration.

Applicants must be at least 18 years old, have not been convicted of an indictable or dishonesty offense, be of good character, and be in compliance with the Bermuda Department of Health requirements and protocols. Persons already residing in Bermuda who satisfy the criteria can also apply. The same requirements also apply to the dependents as well.

需支付 BM$2,625 的申請費。

對成功的 EIC 申請人的持續要求包括維持“合格投資”至少五年的義務，以及申請人在獲得 EIC 後的五年中每年在百慕大居住至少 90 天。

新政策授予的EIC有效期為五年，之後EIC持有人有資格申請“居住證”。如果成功，他們將有權無限期居住在百慕大。

但是，如果持有人在百慕大境外連續居住兩年或以上，而無需事先徵得部長的許可，則可以撤銷居住證。

一旦申請人在百慕大居住十年，他們可能有資格申請百慕大公民身份，從而成為英國海外領土公民。入籍規則因個人情況和與國家的關係而異。

B. 永久居民證明

如果您擁有永久居民證 (PRC)，您有權在百慕大生活和工作，並以較低的價格購買百慕大房產 年度租金價值 (ARV).

2021 年百慕大移民和保護修正案將於 2021 年 12 月 1 日生效。 

移民部將於 2022 年 1 月 1 日開始根據修訂後的立法的規定接受申請。

2021 Amendment 

 2021 年修正案允許某些長期居民申請永久居民證。

Government’s proposal aims to address this issue by expanding the eligibility criteria for the granting of PRC under section 31A, to include any person who has been ordinarily resident in Bermuda for at least 20 years. While the policy paper states that this change is aimed at assisting “Persons who have continuously worked in Bermuda and seek to continue to make Bermuda their home“, it does not appear that having worked (as opposed to merely having resided) in Bermuda will be a condition of acceptance, although the amending legislation remains to be seen.

The cost of the PRC application under section 31A is also to be reduced, from $50,000 to $10,000.

This change will be beneficial for LRT work permit holders, as well as their employers, who would no longer need to renew their work permits and pay the related fees.

The policy paper also sets out proposed changes to assist mixed-status families, under which the following categories of people will now be eligible for PRC:

• Persons who were born or arrived in Bermuda at an early age and have been ordinarily resident in Bermuda;
• A divorced or unwed parent of a Bermudian child;
• Children of first- and second-generation PRC holders who have been ordinarily resident in Bermuda.

These changes will assist, amongst others, non-Bermudian parents of Bermudian children, who would otherwise have had to leave the island after their child’s 18th birthday, and second-generation PRC holders who are currently unable to pass PRC on to their children.

The current application fee for a PRC under section 31B will remain at $3,150.

The aforementioned changes are to be read in conjunction with the requirements given below.

• 您通常在百慕大居住至少 20 年，包括他提出申請之前的兩年；
• 如果他是擁有百慕大身份的兒子或女兒的非百慕大父母，您通常在百慕大居住至少 15 年，包括他提出申請之前的兩年；
