2. On entering the Bahamas you must fill out and sign an Immigration form, remember to keep your half you will need it upon departure.
3. Driving is on the left so to everyone who is not used to this be careful and beware of the roundabouts.
4. Electricity is usually 120 volts AC. So American appliances are compatible. For everyone else take an adaptor.
5. For those going to the Bahamas to fish, spear guns are illegal. If you are entering by boat clear customs at the nearest point of entry. A fishing permit is required for your boat it is $20 per trip.
6. The official language of the Bahamas is English with a Bahamian dialect.

10. You can wear casual clothes during the day but you may need something a little warmer for evenings in December, January and February. In the Capital in the evenings men are usually required to wear a jacket in restaurants, casinos etc. Don’t wear inappropriate clothes in the street, churches, restaurants or casinos. By inappropriate I mean bikinis, thongs, very revealing clothes, this goes for men and women.
