About the Bahamas passport
The Bahamas passport ranks #16 of 200 globally, ahead of 92% of the world's ranked passports. Alongside Israel and Brunei, it sits among the world's strongest travel documents. Like many countries, Bahamas extends citizenship to children of its nationals born abroad, making the passport potentially available to subsequent generations through descent.
Passport context
Bahamas applies a top marginal income tax rate of 0% and a capital gains tax rate of 0%. The country operates a zero tax regime, with no income tax liability for residents. For expatriates, the absence of income tax makes Bahamas one of the more tax-efficient jurisdictions globally.
Bahamas is a member of CARICOM, granting facilitated movement across Caribbean member states.
