Apparently, because my father and grandfather (both born & raised in Bermuda—in Paget and Pembroke Parishes) are deceased, and can’t do DNA tests in Bermuda, I’m not allowed to become a citizen. My dad died in 2010 and my grandfather died in 2013. I’m 30 years old and perfectly fit to take one—but, Bermuda refuses to allow me to take a DNA test to prove paternity specifically because they are deceased.

Apparently, it’s illegal under Bermuda law for me to take a DNA test to prove paternity of my illegitimate father with unmarried grandparents (his parents were not married when he was born in 1955). My grandparents, born in 1927 & 1933, are both deceased. Oh, well.

That also means my dad’s birth certificate will permanently have a blank space under “Father’s Name”, due to the DNA law.

So, I can’t become an English citizen & can’t become a Bermudian citizen. Because of a blank name on a birth certificate from 71 years ago, and all 3 culprits involved are deceased (my dad & his parents, my paternal grandparents).

All I can do is, cancel my English passport application and cancel everything else to get my belongings back. I’m so devastated and angry. But, it’s not my decision (nor did I ask to be born in America, which—in this politically disgusting country—quite frankly, has me wishing I would’ve been born in England somewhere) and for the rest of my life, there's nothing I can do about it. All I can do is, suck it up & move on from this whole complicated, legally petty & angering ordeal.

Situations like this is why I might start believing in no sex until marriage. Hooking up & promiscuity have been disgusting to me, my entire life. Now I know why.

Looking to book something for my husband and I, any recommendations?

Hello Bermuda.

I visited earlier in the year and really loved the place and I’ll be back next week on a whim because i found a cheap flight from New York.

Question on the entry card. Last time i was here i stayed in a Hotel so i just put that down.

Assume this time just put the address i am staying (which is not a hotel)?

Also, i never visited Elbow beach last time. I realized this after i had returned and noticed i visited all the beaches but elbow.

Any idea why the buses don’t stop at Elbow Beach?

Also I want to try clearwater beach. I don’t recall there being a bus stop there. Just taxi?

Started watching and am now approaching the highly anticipated Bermuda finale trip. Anyone know Monica / her family as she claims she’s from here ? Trying to figure out if we would have ever crossed paths

I'm arriving there on Friday, and the forecast indicates heavy rain each day. Does it rain continuously throughout the day, or is it similar to places like Barbados and Jamaica where it rains for a few hours and then clears up?

Male- African.
I recently got separated with my Partner and I found myself spending most time alone which is eating me up slowly.
I try to gym and slowly getting into running though my legs aren’t yet there.
So walking it will be.
I’m a work permit holder and since me and my Partner share Mutuals, I can’t easily fall back to them.
So if you are into walking or feel lonely and need someone to partner with and get you out of your house.
Kindly DM me as I’m looking for this exactly.

Hi, we're considering a move to Bermuda from the UK and I'd love to hear from any families who have made a similar move with children.

If anyone would be happy for me to DM them with a few questions about their experience, I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks!

Currently in Bermuda and looking for anywhere that sells the zyn nicotine pouches? Or at least something similar. Any help is appreciated!

Hi everyone! I’ll be visiting Bermuda for a week starting September 7th and would love to get some runs in while I’m there. 🏃‍♂️

Are there any running groups that welcome visitors, or anyone who runs regularly and wouldn’t mind having a tourist tag along for a run? I’d love to meet some local runners and explore the island on foot!

Any recommendations or connections would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! 😊

I’m a UK trained doctor considering my taking a year out of formal training before entering my speciality training. I’m interested in emergency care.
I wondered what the healthcare system is like in Bermuda, are they ever looking for middle grade doctors like myself? I have a good portfolio with research in emergency care.
No idea if BDA has any need for overseas doctors
Thanks!

Where can I find menthol or Spearmint vape juice?

Looking for the best beach/food private hotel day pass early September 2026.

Is it the great weather? friendly people? swizzle? making more money than you could back home? better work-life balance?

This isn't intended to be a trick question or spark any uproar, but as someone who's new here and still finding their feet, I'd really love to know.

I know the answer is bound to be different for everyone :)

Looking for recommendations for a one-stop shop in Bermuda for botox/fillers/microneedling and PRP. Would love to hear from women who consistently get treatments done, and any recommendations for a specific aesthetician.

Edited to add: I know of the places that offer these services, but more interested in hearing your personal experience(s) as generally services in Bermuda can be hit or miss despite the Google reviews. This is definitely something I don't want to take an unnecessary risk on! However, it makes it hard to consistently receive treatments abroad so very much hoping I can find someone here.

Hey all! Does anyone know of any sewing classes on the island ? I’ve searched but haven’t found any.

Can anyone recommend a private small boat rental with a captain? It will just be 4 of us, looking to cruise around, check out some beaches and just relax

Hi everyone! Beware of this scam bermuda arrival card application site. I needed to post because it’s the first search result for th arrival card. The arrival card is completely free and you should not be paying 70 dollars for this company to “apply” for you and take their time meanwhile the official site sends your arrival card right after you complete your application. Make sure you book through the official Bermuda Visitor Forum.

hi there!

I am moving to bermuda and have heard that the roads can be a bit dangerous with aggressive drivers, therefore as a road cyclist i was thinking of just doing the rail trail path.. but i am wondering if a road bike with gravel tires would be adequate for the terrain or if i should be getting a mtn bike with full suspension. also please correct me if i have a misperception about safety of road cycling on the main roads. thanks!

We are coming in on a cruise, looking for a beach we can get chairs, food, bar drinks BUT is not super crowded and the water is calm enough to bring a float chair and relax in the water

On August 22, 2026, a morning cloudburst and thunderstorm brewed a striking micro-scale weather vortex, or small waterspout, that churned across the water at Ferry Reach in St George's, Bermuda. Onlookers and storm chasers filmed the churning formation close to the shore.
