I will be traveling to the Bahamas at the end of April 2007. I have been reading things about needing a departure ticket showing that I will be moving on from the Bahamas. Does anybody know anything about this? What is it and do I have to have this in order to travel?

Yes this is true.
You can find more info at http://bahamas.com or http://bahamiansonline.com
here is an excerpt of the rules:
To enter The Bahamas, U.S. citizens also need a return or onward journey ticket and proof of funds to support the visit. If you are using an electronic ticket, please show Bahamas Immigration a copy of your travel itinerary and ticket number. Stays are not to exceed eight months.
NOTE: Persons are advised to purchase return tickets (and seek reimbursement upon returning home for the unused ticket), even when they are certain to return via a private boat. The chance of an airline/cruise line ticket agent allowing travel on a single ticket is very slim. If, however, the person gets to the point of Bahamas Immigration on a single ticket, the Captain of the boat would have to present himself and the cruising permit. However, a copy of the cruising permit will be permitted for crew members, who may be arriving by plane and returning by boat, as their names will appear on the manifest. A letter will not suffice.

A departure ticket just simply shows that you will be leaving the country on the given date specified. It lets the government know that you are not in the country longer than stated on your ticket. Also it helps the US to keep track who is entering the county.
On the form will ask for your name, location, passport number, flight ect. Do not worry about it. Just get to the airport on time to fill it out. It would not take that long about less than 5 minutes. If you have any concerns try calling the help line at 242-326-4357
Have fun.

June would be an spectacular month to flow on a honeymoon in the Bahamas. incredibly hurricane season starts off June a million-Nov thirtieth however the undesirable tropical storms months are September and October. each in specific situations August. yet another determination could be Aruba, it fairly is out of the hurricane belt and it infrequently ever rains there. If it does rains it fairly is 5 minutes and it fairly is over. human beings do no longer even flow from their seashores chairs whilst it rains in Aruba. Oh,the sunsets are surprising. Have an spectacular honeymoon the place ever you compromise directly to flow.)

If you are flying there and purchased a round trip ticket, your return flight ticket is considered a return or departure ticket and meets the requirements. It's used to show that you aren't going there to stay without going through Immigration or get a work status permit to stay on the islands.
