Aevamo’s reading

The Immigration Act (Chapter 191) creates the entry obligation: s.19 prohibits landing save with an Immigration Officer's leave, s.22 governs the grant and maximum duration of that leave (not exceeding eight months), and s.20 defines the free-movement categories. The MOFA designation lists and the government's Visa Requirements table operate against this statutory background.

The Government of The Bahamas' Visa Requirements for Foreigners table lists each of these countries as visa-not-required (NO) with a visit period of three months.

What this answer covers Limits & assumptions

Work and residence rights are separate from this check. This is the entry rule and the length of stay the instrument grants. It is not a decision about you: the officer at the border decides admission, and we do not evaluate the purpose of your trip, your passport's remaining validity, an onward ticket, funds, insurance or health requirements.

Informational planning, not legal or immigration advice. The source is linked so you can check our reading.
