The long-stay visitor programme known as the Welcome Stamp Programme will soon be supported by new legislation to prolong its existence.

Minister of Tourism and International Transport, Senator Lisa Cummins, made this disclosure while addressing a 'State of the Industry' media briefing [recently] at the Hilton Barbados Resort.

Senator Cummins revealed that legislation was debated in the House of Assembly two to three weeks ago, and on July 21, she would take the lead in the Senate in the debate on the Remote Employment Bill.

"Under the new legislation ... we will have a rebate for those persons who are already here, which allows them to have a renewal at a discounted cost, and new welcome stampers will have new costings at approximately $2,000 for individuals and $3,000 for families," she disclosed.
