What makes Bermuda stand out, and what to watch for
Why expats choose Bermuda
Zero income and capital-gains tax, a world-class international business hub, and a unique mid-Atlantic location with near-perfect weather October–May.
Watch out for
Bermuda is consistently ranked among the world’s most expensive places to live; almost all food and goods are imported and duties are high; property is restricted to non-Bermudians with a special licence required.
Costs vary a lot by city, neighbourhood, and lifestyle — these are directional monthly bands for the main expat city, current as of 2026. Treat them as a starting point, not a quote. Information only, not financial advice.
