On 10 July 1973 The Bahamas became a sovereign independent state and chose to remain a member of The British Commonwealth of Nations.

With regard to passports, you don't say which country you're from. This website gives details of passport/visa requirements for various countries. http://www.hk-bahamas.de/en/passport.php (Starting in December 2007, US citizens entering the Bahamas will be required to have a valid US Passport.)

I believe if you check the website Karrow posted for you, lost, you will find that by 'from' she meant your citizenship, not just where you happen to be right now. Whether you're a newly married woman Bahamian, a Canadian, or Vietnamese, can make a difference in requirements. She was correct in directing you to the site, which is a better authority than a post.
