| Relocating to Bermuda? Be Prepared to Compromise |
Like all small, crowded countries, Bermuda can be a difficult place to deal with if you expect the best, and if you find it hard to compromise. There are two things guest workers find especially hard–housing and transport.
Most companies will find you a house to live in temporarily. But unless you’re lucky enough to be working for a company that is providing you with a permanent home, you will eventually have to get out and look yourself. Houses are in short supply, and can be expensive.
It’s best to find yourself a good real estate agent, and be prepared to settle for second best at first. Some Bermuda real estate agents are on line, if you want to make contact that way. Your employer may recommend one to you, or you can find one in our Real Estate section. You cannot buy a home or condo in Bermuda, unless you’re buying it from another non-Bermudian and are prepared to pay the prices asked for in the very highest brackets.
Transport can also be difficult to deal with. You cannot rent a car in Bermuda and, if you decide to buy one, you must first get yourself a Bermuda driver’s license, which can take some time. Most people, when they first arrive, either rent or buy a scooter, or moped. Driving on the left-hand side of the road can take a little getting used to; hence, if you cannot, or don’t want to use two-wheeled transport, there is an excellent bus system, and ferries if you don’t live too far from a ferry dock. Taxis can be expensive for everyday travel.
If you have young children, you need to be aware that education for them may be a problem. If you opt to put them in the public school system, you are bound to enroll them in a school near where you live. If you opt for a private school, you need to be aware that places can be in short supply. Below you’ll find listings on movers who will be able to help you with the shipping of your personal belongings to/from Bermuda. |
