Where the governments disagree on Bahamas
Opinion on Bahamas is divided, though not dramatically: ratings run from level 1 to level 2. Five of the nine take the stricter view, and the remaining four see no cause for it. A one-level split of this kind usually reflects differing thresholds between governments rather than a dispute about the facts.
Every government here has revisited Bahamas within the past year, the oldest review being Ireland's in October 2025, so the disagreement is not simply a matter of one source lagging behind.
The warnings for Bahamas are not uniform across the country. Two distinct areas are singled out by at least one government. Among them: Grand Bahama and New Providence. At least one government advises against non-essential travel to a specific area while taking a softer line on the country overall.
Your own government's rating is the one your insurer and embassy will act on, so read that source first — the one level of daylight between the strictest and most relaxed assessments here is context, not a substitute for it.
