Annual Homeowner's Residence Card

The Annual Homeowner's Residence Card is a specialized residency option for non-Bahamians who own a habitable home in the Bahamas. This card is designed to simplify the entry process for seasonal residents and property owners, allowing them and their immediate family members to stay in the country for up to one year at a time. It serves as an ideal solution for those who have invested in Bahamian real estate and wish to enjoy their property without the complexities associated with standard visitor permits or more permanent residency applications.

To apply for this card, individuals must provide proof of ownership of a habitable home, such as a registered deed of conveyance, along with a valid passport and other supporting documentation like a medical certificate and police record. The total cost for the card is USD 600, which comprises a USD 100 processing fee and a USD 500 issuance fee. The card is renewable annually, making it a convenient choice for frequent visitors or those who maintain a second home in the Bahamas and wish to facilitate their travel and residency for the duration of the year.
