Twelve-Month Barbados Welcome Stamp For Visitors

Government could soon be introducing the 12-month Barbados Welcome Stamp to allow visitors the option to work remotely from Barbados for a year at a time.

This disclosure was made by Prime Minister Mia Amor Mottley, who explained that the stamp concept, now being refined for promotion, would allow "persons to come and work from here overseas, digitally so, so that persons don't need to remain in the countries in which they are".

Speaking during the official reopening of Primo Bar and Bistro, St. Lawrence Gap, Christ Church, recently, the Prime Minister said one of the things the pandemic has shown is that it made short-term travel more difficult because of the testing and the requirements for rapid testing, which were not reliably available.
