Any person in receipt of a valid Welcome Stamp visa is not required to obtain an entry visa, regardless of their nationality.
The official website to apply for an entry visa is apps.immigration.gov.bb. Avoid using third party websites to apply, because they are not authorised by the Government of Barbados.
Haitian citizens: No entry visa is required for citizens of Haiti with an official and diplomatic passport, or an ordinary passport with either (a) indefinite leave to remain in the United Kingdom; or (b) permanent residency in the United States, Canada, or a country within the Schengen Area.
Haitian citizens who have a U.S. green card (i.e. permanent residency) do NOT need an entry visa.
If this applies to you, remember to bring your U.S. green card when travelling to Barbados, as you are required to furnish proof that you are exempt from the requirement to obtain an entry visa.
If you are a citizen of another country not listed on this page, you do NOT need to obtain an entry visa as long as you enter Barbados using a valid passport issued to you by that other country.
From October 1st, 2025, nationals from Belize, the Commonwealth of Dominica, and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, will be able to exercise the freedom of movement in Barbados.
All other CARICOM nationals must still obtain permission from the Immigration Department for periods of stay exceeding six months a year, or to work in Barbados.
