Do I need approval to transfer shares in a Bermuda company?

Often yes. Issues and transfers of shares involving non-residents need consent from the Bermuda Monetary Authority, unless a general permission covers them. Tell us before you agree a transfer, so we can check whether consent is needed and file the beneficial ownership update afterwards.
