The US Embassy in Nassau has formally opened for public enterprise at its new location at 235 Shirley Road. Chargé d’affaires Kimberly Furnish formally decommissioned the previous Embassy and relocated operations to the purpose-built compound on the morning of September 2, 2025.
The $227 million facility, which broke floor in 2019, underscores the USA’ long-term funding in strengthening bilateral relations with The Bahamas. The five-acre web site homes the U.S. Mission to The Bahamas, together with officers from the Departments of State, Justice, Protection, Homeland Safety, and Treasury.
“This stunning and technologically superior new compound will enable us to deepen our collaboration with the folks and authorities of The Bahamas,” mentioned Chargé Furnish. “Cooperation on our enduring shared pursuits — defending our residents, securing our borders, combating crime and drug trafficking, and facilitating financial and cultural trade — will proceed with renewed power. We’re delighted to welcome you to our new residence in The Bahamas.”
The power presents practically 15,000 sq. toes of workspace, greater than triple that of the previous Queen Road location. The consular part contains a spacious and cozy ready space, designed to make visits for Americans and visa candidates extra environment friendly and nice.
Candidates can study visa necessities and e-book appointments on-line at bs.usembassy.gov. Americans may also discover steering on routine and emergency consular providers.
