Does an American need a visa to go to the Bahamas?

Answer by  itsmeagain (177)

No, you do not need a visa. You will, however, need your passport. It wasn't long ago that Americans only needed a birth certificate and drivers license. Not anymore.

If you are a citizen of the United States of America, then you can stay in the Bahamas for up to 240 days without a visa.

Yes, you need a visa to go out of the United States. Mexico, Canada, Bahamas. I have traveled to all three and always had to show my visa.

I think that all you need for a trip to the Bahamas is your birth certificate, social security card, and your drivers license.

You absolutely need your passport. No visa. I've been three times since 2005.
