Barbados 12 Month Visa – Work remotely for a year in Paradise!!
Live like a “Bajan” for a year!
The Covid-19 Pandemic is part of the impetus for the new visa. The pandemic has changed the work environment globally, with a larger number working remotely from home. Barbados has created a mechanism that allows people to take advantage of working on the island while enjoying the sun, sea and sand and wonderful weather.
Barbados has been commended for how it has handled the virus thus far with robust and effective contact tracing protocols that are still in place, and effective travel protocols for arrivals to the island that are maintained.
The 12-month Barbados Welcome Stamp offers new opportunities for anyone whose work is location-independent.
‘We Manage’ – Island Life Barbados can assist with your long-term housing requirements while taking advantage of this fantastic opportunity to live and work in Paradise. Whether you require an apartment, villa, condominium or standalone house we can assist you! In addition to working at your own pace there is so much to enjoy while living in Barbados – Island Tours, beaches, bars, restaurants, yacht charters, fishing charters, scenic attractions like Harrison’s Cave, Animal Flower Cave, St. Nicholas Abbey Heritage Railway, Rum tours, and many more.
