Having read your forums regarding taking a drone to the Bahamas.
I, with Documented Residency, had my small drone taken at Customs and was given a Tel number in Nassau
to call and ask for a Mr....... I did so and never received a return call. Remember you probably won't be
carrying a satellite phone so this was the first obstacle. Since I did this about three years ago I did not have
the 50% deposit offered - I also would have declined. Knowing my sister is waiting over 1 and a half years for
her phone deposit to be returned you can guess the delay. I did have my drone waiting at the Customs Office
inside the Departure facility to retrieve when I departed a few weeks later.

I believe all this drone resistance is to protect someone's business interest not military security.
 
Sorry to hear that! I ended up gambling and took my mavic to bahamas in dec 2018 and had no issues what so ever. No one opened our bags. Flying around the Atlantis and the beach also had no resistance at all. Locals would see me do it and say nothing even hotel staff. Seems like the gamble is at customs upon arrival.
