Does Bermuda count as a country?

It depends on the list. Bermuda is a British Overseas Territory, so it is not one of the UN’s 193 members, but Globestamp’s list of 250 countries and territories counts it on its own. The Travelers’ Century Club counts it as “Bermuda”.

Bermuda belongs to the United Kingdom, but travelers usually count it on its own, because it has its own entry rules, its own flag or its own place on the map. Other places in the same family: Anguilla, British Indian Ocean Territory, British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, Falkland Islands, Gibraltar, Guernsey and Isle of Man.

The Bermuda stamp

Every country in Globestamp has its own stamp, drawn after a real entry stamp. Its finish shows how few travelers get there. Bermuda’s is Hologram: cracked ice, a mosaic of small mirrors, the finish for places with 500,000 to 2 million visitors a year. With 805,000 international arrivals in 2019, Bermuda is rarer than 73% of the 199 places with figures. See every stamp on the stamp wall, or the rarest on the least-visited countries.

What counts as a visit to Bermuda

The common rule among travelers is that you set foot there: an airport layover usually doesn’t count, and a port where you went ashore does. Globestamp counts Bermuda when one of your photos was taken on its ground, or just off its coast; a photo taken from a plane never counts. With a single airport with scheduled flights (L.F. Wade International Airport, BDA), photos only at the airport make a transit stamp, counted only if you count layovers. Read more in how to count the countries you’ve visited.

Places in Bermuda you can collect

Under the country itself, Globestamp keeps layers of places on your globe, and a photo taken at one ticks it. These are the ones it knows in Bermuda.
