Short answer

A Bermuda partner residence application requires applicants to have private health insurance coverage for the duration of their intended stay in Bermuda (Source: BM_PARTNERRESIDENCE_GOVBM_2026, Government of Bermuda Department of Immigration; verified 2026-06-16). The guidelines state no coverage amount, so the engine models two rules: insurance is mandatory, and it must cover the whole stay.

How we evaluate

The checker compares each modeled requirement against product evidence. Two rules are encoded from the partner residence guidelines: insurance is mandatory, and it must cover the duration of the intended stay. A monthly subscription does not by itself establish full-period coverage, so the engine flags it YELLOW; full-period policies are GREEN. No coverage amount is encoded because the guidelines state none, following the UNKNOWN > Wrong principle. See /methodology/ for the full logic.

Proof package checklist

  • A private health insurance policy covering the whole intended stay in Bermuda.
  • A certificate showing the policy holder, policy number and coverage dates.
  • The remaining partner residence documents (relationship evidence, financial means, police certificate).
