There is a list of entry requirements on the Min of Tourism website,
scroll down to country list
http://www.bahamas.com/assets/conten...=48203&level=2

There is also one on the Min of Foreign Affairs website
http://www.mfabahamas.org/vsiaforforeign.htm

(citizens of) most Commonwealth states don't need a visa, some do,
India does

If somebody already has a visa for the US, this usually means that it
will be easier to get a Bahamas visa at a Bahamas representation (such
as Bahamas Consulate General in Miami) - "easier" meaning: the visa
might be issued within a day (because the tourist has already been
"cleared" by the US).

But if somebody has to go via the British representation (because
there is no Bahamas representation in his/her country of residence) it
might take between 4 - 6 weeks until the visa is issued.

If a cruise ship passenger arrives in a port and does not fulfill the
entry requirements, he/she will not able to leave the ship. Which can
be a problem, I suppose.

Hope this helps

As if gov't agents always have a clue.
